Best of the Badmen (1951)

Directed by William D. Russell

Western

Overview

After the North defeats the South, Union Maj. Jeff Clanton heads to Missouri to provide the Confederacy’s Quantrill’s Raiders a chance to claim allegiance to the Union, thereby clearing their wanted status. But standing in Clanton’s way are the corrupt lawmen Joad and Fowler, who would rather keep the men outlaws to collect the reward on their heads. After Joad and Fowler frame Clanton for murder, he manages to escape, becoming an outlaw himself.

Caught my eye at the library while perusing other titles. Robert Ryan is the man.
