Canyon Crossroads (1955)

'Canyon Crossroads' is a contemporary western shot in and around Moab, Utah. It's a story of claim jumping, but instead of gold it's uranium. Phyllis Kirk's character gets stuck in the partially collapsed uranium cave for a day or two with a broken ankle, she get's out, but I'm pretty sure that character would later die of cancer. This movie is unforgivably dull, it's best moment is a bar fight early on in a place called 'The Moab Club'.  The fight isn't memorable but the interior of 'The Moab Club' is, it looks like a half cylindrical army bunker with pictures of horses on the wall, I hope that place is still there. *
