Santa Fe (1951)
Country: US
Technical: Technicolor 87m
Director: Irving Pichel
Cast: Randolph Scott, Janis Carter, Warner Anderson
Synopsis:
After the Civil War, four brothers from Virginia travel west to try their luck, but the old hatreds go with them. When the eldest decides to let bygones be bygones and throws in his lot with the building of the new railroad from Kansas to New Mexico, the other three fall in with liquor traders and outlaws.

Never have you seen so many potential antagonists shake hands and recognise the other's true worth, so many potentially flagrant situations come to naught, but those brothers just don't learn...
