Death of a Gunfighter

Skip it – The 70's weren't kind to westerns, and this is no exception. I am taken aback by how many western buffs consider this to be a classic. I found it to be one of the most boring and pointless westerns I've ever seen. An aging Richard Widmark plays a sheriff in a turn-of-the-century town hell-bent on modernization. Perhaps it is a profound film in the sense that it is a good picture of a man who had trouble changing with the times. But it has a totally different feel than any of the other classic westerns. Unique movie, yes. Good western, no. There are plenty of unique westerns out there that are much, much better. 1.5 out of 5 action rating.

This film was produced at a time when the old Hayes Code was breaking down and the MPAA was still trying to figure out which rating buckets to throw movies into. So this was the first of the "grittier" western that we saw before the whole genre fell out of favor. The plot is a town that hired a gunslinger to be its marshal, with the understanding he was to eliminate bad guys with extreme prejudice. Now the town has a railroad and is looking for investment and wants to become all modern and such, at the cusp of the 20th century, and they want their Marshall gone. Except he doesn't want to go. Now I think the problem with this film is that they can't think of any other way to get rid of this guy other than killing him. Oh, wait, they get the county sheriff (Played by John Saxon) to ask him nicely to resign. It seems like the mass ambush at the end is more symbolic than practical. It's a fun film to watch.

Cottonwood Springs, Texas wants to go into the new century courting eastern bankers and investors. The only thing holding things back is the fear of the citizens of their town Marshall, Frank Patch(Richard Widmark), who has a troubled past and an old way of dealing with justice and the law. No one can conjure the nerve to tell Patch he is no longer wanted; but they do have the gumption to gang up on him. Lean Horne plays Widmark's love interest. This strong cast also features: Carroll O'Connor, Jaqueline Scott, John Saxon, Dub Taylor and Victor French. DEATH OF A GUNFIGHTER is the first crediting Alan Smithee as director. "Smithee" is credited when directors, for any reason, don't want their name associated with the movie. This particular film was originally directed by Robert Totten; but when he met disapproval from Widmark, Don Siegel finished directing. Horne sings a lovely and haunting tune called "Sweet Apple Wine".

A town is unhappy with its marshall but can't get rid of him. Don Siegel was let go as the director and was replaced by Allen Smithee, the first film credited to the fictitious name, which is usually an indication that a film is likely to be not good. While the direction is lackluster, the script is even worse. Widmark plays a marshall with a reputation for a quick trigger. He refuses to turn in his badge when asked to do so by the town council, which hired him. The reason for this bizarre behavior is not explained. It's strange seeing Horne in a Western. She does OK in a rare dramatic role, although she's given little to do.

A Western that shows how the "West growed itself up and got itself civilized".Richard Widmark gives what is probably his last great performance as a Sheriff whose way a doing things don't sit right with the "powers-that-be" personified by town merchant Carrol O Conner.This movie ,like Invitaion to a Gunfighter made some years before it reveals just how gutless and desperate the power-brokers are when there's no one to do their bidding.The film still holds up (even with the much mentioned two directors)though it has that "back-lot"look to most of it.John Saxon has a brief but memorable piece of work in this must see film for western fans or good movie fans.

Started by Robert Totten, then taken over by Don Siegel at the insistence of Richard Widmark (Totten and the star "clashed," as they say), "Death of a Gunfighter" wound up credited to the fictitious and now somewhat famous Alan Smithee. This intriguing Western remains the elusive director's best work, thanks, no doubt, to the proven skills of Siegel and another terrific Widmark performance (the director and star had previously collaborated on "Madigan" a year earlier). As sheriff Widmark's love interest, Lena Horne hasn't much to do, but she looks good doing it.
