| Philip Carey and Martha Hyer in WYOMING RENEGADES Year: 1956 Rating; *** |
It's impossible to hear about Butch Cassidy and Sundance without thinking of Paul Newman and Robert Redford... but a decade earlier, more regular-looking Gene Evans and William Bishop played the cowboy outlaws but are secondary to Philip Carey's Brady Sutton, one of their fictional gang members who splits early on...

This right after randomly admitting that he's a wannabe outlaw that desperately wants to join Cassidy's gang... which would have been a far more adventurously-intriguing premise...
Featuring beautiful blonde Martha Hyer as Carey's fiance, with a token romance between rowdy arguments between the bickering crooks... planning to finish-off the town they'd already robbed... WYOMING is too complicated for its own good: an unnecessarily awkward attempt to hybrid the Western genre with mazy espionage.
