Raton Pass
Watch TrailerRaton Pass is a curious western based on the rules of Community Property. Dennis Morgan and Patricia Neal portray a recently married husband and wife, each of whom owns half of a huge cattle ranch. Neal is a tad more ambitious than her husband, and with the help of a little legal chicanery she tries to obtain Morgan's half of the spread. He balks, so she hires a few gunslingers to press the issue. In a 1951 western, the greedy party usually came to a sorry end; Raton Pass adheres strictly to tradition.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its conflict on an unusual foundation for a Western—community property law and marital discord—which injects almost procedural tension into the genre. It explores not just the cowboy code but the fragility of human agreements.
Those who tire of simplistic shootouts will appreciate the legal maneuvering that precedes the bullets. What lingers after is the satisfaction of tradition upheld. — MovieFinder Editorial
