Description by OLDIES.com:
A ruthless outlaw escapes from jail, goes on the lam and plans one final robbery. Action-packed western stars Joel McCrea ("Sullivan's Travels"), Virginia Mayo ("The Secret Life of Walter Mitty") and Oscar-winner Dorothy Malone ("Written on the Wind," TV's "Peyton Place" and "Rich Man, Poor Man").
Product Description:
Though not acknowledged by contemporary reviewers, COLORADO TERRITORY is a westernized remake of the 1941 crime drama HIGH SIERRA. Raoul Walsh, director of the earlier film, returns to helm the remake, doing a grand job on both occasions. Joel McCrea stars in the Humphrey Bogart role, playing a veteran outlaw who hopes to pull off one last, spectacular heist. Virginia Mayo portrays the Ida Lupino counterpart, a "bad" dance-hall girl who proves to be the only person who genuinely cares about McCrea's well-being. As in the earlier film, the climax finds McCrea making a futile bid for escape in the mountains, with tragic consequences. HIGH SIERRA was good for at least one more remake, the 1955 Jack Palance-Shelley Winters starrer I DIED A THOUSAND TIMES.

remake of high sierra?
Movie Lover: steve cannon from
scranton, pa. -- July, 29, 2010
i am a big bogart fan and a big western fan and when i heard this was a western remake of high sierra,i had to see it and was pleasantly suprised.virginia mayo plays the the ida lupino part,and long time soap star and movie dancer james mitchell plays one of the gang members that befriends the noted owtlaw played by mccrea.this has a dark film noir feel to it with great photography, and a clear indication that mccrea was a better actor that people give him credit for.if you like him in this try,hitchcocks foriegn correspondent funny spy film,and another dark westrn that co-starred his real life wife, four faces west,both very different than the western hero we are used to.
