A vintage Italian movie poster of ''Blood on the Moon'', a 1948 American Western film directed by Robert Wise. The movie is a classic example of the film noir style applied to the Western genre, blending elements of both genres to create a gritty and suspenseful story.
The film stars Robert Mitchum as Jim Garry, a drifter who becomes embroiled in a complex conflict between two rival cattle ranchers in the American West. On one side, there's Tate Riling (played by Robert Preston), a ruthless and unscrupulous rancher who aims to take control of the entire valley by any means necessary. On the other side is Kris Barden (played by Tom Tully), a more morally upright rancher who seeks to protect his land and livelihood.
Jim Garry initially finds himself working for Riling but soon becomes disillusioned by his employer's unethical practices. Garry decides to switch sides and join forces with Barden, setting the stage for a tense showdown between the rival factions.
"Blood on the Moon" is characterized by its atmospheric cinematography and a morally ambiguous narrative that is a hallmark of film noir. The film explores themes of betrayal, loyalty, and the consequences of one's actions. It also features strong performances from the cast, with Robert Mitchum delivering a charismatic and brooding portrayal of the lead character.
The film's title, "Blood on the Moon," is symbolic of the impending violence and conflict that loom over the story, creating a palpable sense of tension throughout the film.

"Blood on the Moon" is a notable film for its blending of Western and film noir elements, and it remains a classic example of how the two genres can be effectively combined to create a compelling and suspenseful story in the Old West.
