“Night of the Grizzly” is an outstanding and underrated Western from 1966. As ex-sheriff Jim Cole, Clint Walker gives a very good performance and fits the role perfectly. He encounters stern tests  including a greedy neighbour who wants his ranch and a rogue grizzly dubbed “Old Satan.” 

The film runs 102 minutes and was shot in the Big Bear region of San Bernardino National Forest, California

Not by any means a fifties film BUT I like it – and it has a Fifties feel to it I think.

Directed by Joseph Pevney
Written by Warren Douglas

The Night Of The Grizzly (1966), is a solid picture with a great cast, and a fine script from Warren Douglas, who also wrote Dragoon Wells Massacre (1957).
