Terrorizing 1866 Indiana, the Reno brothers gang uses the town of Seymour as a safe haven, paying off three crooked town officials. Sent in to clean up the gang is Peterson Detective Agency operative James Barlow, who poses as an outlaw to gain the confidence of the officials and the thick-headed brothers. Complicating matters are Barlow's feelings for the Reno sister, Laura, who reluctantly keeps house for the boys out of family loyalty. Events heat up and rage surfaces as Barlow sets up the gang in a dawn train robbery.
Sheltered in their sister Laura's farmhouse, the notorious band of outlaws, the Reno Brothers, terrorise the Indiana countryside, in 1866. By bribing the local officials and the corrupt judge, the brothers have the nearby town of Seymour under their thumb, however, it is not before long when someone kills a secret operative. As a result, James Barlow, a former Southern spy, agrees to infiltrate the gang by posing as a hardened train robber to bring the Renos to justice, but what Barlow couldn't foresee is that his feelings for the feisty Laura will threaten his plans for a setup at dawn. In the end, can a single man end the Reno Brothers' reign?
Though Randolph Scott is the nominal star, Rage At Dawn really isn't about him. It's about the gang he's sent to capture, the infamous Reno brothers who operated out of Indiana right after the Civil War. Scott in fact does not make an appearance until a quarter of the film is over.
After one Reno brother is killed in a failed bank robbery, the three remaining outlaw Renos, Forrest Tucker, J. Carrol Naish, and Myron Healey, are still very much in business. They kill an informant who was working for the Peterson(Pinkerton) Detective Agency and plan future robberies at the home of their sister Laura who is played by Mala Powers.
William Peterson assigns two new men to the job, Kenneth Tobey and a former Confederate spy Randolph Scott. The rest of the story is about their capture and the aftermath.
With a little research I found the story hardly sticks to the facts. Scott for instance is a totally fictional character though the Pinkertons were very much involved in the apprehension. Mala Powers is portrayed as deploring their crimes, but still loyal to her brothers, in fact she was quite the wild child in her day and aided and abetted the male Renos in every way. Only two of the Renos were in fact lynched in the end by a mob, the character of John Reno who Myron Healey plays died in prison.
One thing is true, by intimidation and bribery the Renos did have a safe haven in their home county in Indiana. The three county officials who were on the Reno tab are Edgar Buchanan-judge, Ray Teal-sheriff, and Howard Petrie-county prosecutor. The three of them are the best thing in Rage At Dawn. I don't blame Randolph Scott for saying that he'd rather go after them than the Reno brothers.
Scott is a cynical hero in this one, part of his job in the Civil War as a spy was romancing the wives of high placed union officials, so he's got no problem courting Mala Powers to get the job done. I doubt the real Laura Reno would have fallen for it. Still Scott turns in a good performance.
As does the rest of the cast in this film, though I will say Indiana is not the usual setting for a western. Maybe this one should be called a Midwestern.
I quote from the message on the screen at the beginning of the film "This is the true story of the Reno Brothers.....who were the first train robbers in American history". Well, the film then begins with the Reno gang being shot up attempting to rob a bank, with brother Bill killed. I could find no evidence that this gang ever attempted to rob a bank, and no Reno brother was ever shot dead! Sister Laura is presented as a refined young woman who disapproves of her brother's criminal activities, but continues to harbor them out of filial loyalty. Well, the real Laura Reno was a mid-teen wild child at this time, who supported her brother's activities, whatever they might be. But, we couldn't have 57 year old Randolph Scott wooing an under-aged wild girl!
Next thing we know, the Pinkerton(renamed Peterson) Detective Agency selects Scott's character(James Barlow), an ex-Confederate spy and notorious ladies man, to head a bogus train robbery near the Reno's headquarters, to attract their attention. That's right, according to the film, the Peterson(Pinkerton) Agency staged the first train robbery in US history, and the Renos became train robbers only at the urging of Scott's character, after he was accepted as one of their gang! According to the film, the Reno's one attempt to rob a train was a disaster, resulting in the capture of all by Peterson(Pinkerton) agents waiting in the express car and in the surrounding bush.Failed bank robbers and failed train robbers. That is their claim to fame? Actually, they staged two successful train robberies before being thwarted by Pinkerton agents in their 3rd attempt, more or less as dramatized in the film, except that they were not wounded nor captured, as shown in the film!
Two members of the gang, not the whole gang as depicted,did rob the courthouse in Gallatin, MO. John Reno was recognized, arrested and jailed long term as a result of this raid. Other gang members robbed a number of other courthouses in various upper Midwest states.The undramatic truth is that the other Reno brothers were captured by Pinkerton agents while hiding out in Indianapolis or in Canada.Presumably,the title of this film referes to the rage of the citizens in the regions frequented by the gang, provoking them to carry out 3 lynching incidents, not just the one shown in the film.As shown in the film, 3 Reno brothers met their fate in the last of these 3 lynching incidents, although the film got one of the brothers involved wrong. Unlike in the film, no one in these large vigilante groups was ever tried or jailed for these lynchings.
The Reno brothers and their extended gang were much more versatile and successful in their criminal activities than depicted in this film, which portrays them as a poor man's prelude to the James-Younger gang. Why was this gang so reviled, whereas the James-Youngers were often hailed as heroes by locals and much better remembered today? The James Gang only robbed banks and trains, which were mostly owned by Yankee investors, and didn't much directly impact the ordinary people, mostly southern sympathizers, in the regions where the robberies took place. In contrast, the Reno brothers had a much more diverse criminal resume. They robbed various private businesses and a number of post offices and courthouses. In addition, when they used a certain hotel for their headquarters, they fleeced and sometimes murdered the guests, which increased the reputation of this region as a dangerous destination for future would be travelers. Also, they were assumed responsible for a rash of unexplained fires over a period of years, that destroyed homes and businesses. Many of these deeds hurt the locals or local government activities, rather than some far off set of investors.During the Civil War , they sometimes received bonuses for volunteering, or payment for taking the place of draft dodgers, then promptly deserted to repeat the process elsewhere, under an assumed name.The film could have illustrated some of these activities instead of a bogus failed bank robbery! It could have also spent some time exploring their childhoods for reasons for their mass criminal personalities. The Renos were hardly poverty stricken. They had substantial agricultural land holdings, which actually aided them in their criminal careers. The film does emphasize the intimidation and bribery of local law officials, which much extended their criminal careers.
In summary, this oater should not be regarded, as claimed, a decent historical portrait of the Reno gang. Rather, it should be regarded as just another Scott-starring yarn, with an unusually talented set of supporting actors, exploiting the Reno gang notoriety as a reference point.Scott plays his southern gentleman persona to the hilt in dealing with the Renos and others, especially Laura. I down grade the film for claiming to be much more than what it actually delivered. It does nicely dramatize the point that vigilante justice is sometimes the only practical way to rid a community of a chronic criminal element, when the official justice system fails to do so, for various reasons.It also dramatizes the importance of the Pinkerton Agency at a time long before the FBI existed. This film is currently available very cheaply as part of a Scott Western Collection DVD package.
