| Classic Film and TelevisionMichael E. GrostWestern stressing suspense, with some vivid characters and conversations. |
| User ReviewJanet WA really great movie...watched it Anthony Quinn tho... |
| User ReviewGarrett CMatt Morgan (Kirk Douglas) is the ultimate lawman, on a collision course with his best friend (Anthony Quinn), whose outlaw son raped and killed Morgan's wife. Justice goes home on the last train. Excellent western that clearly inspired many to follow. |
| User ReviewSylvester EIf you guys like westerns like I do, then you will love this one. It's a great tale that will have you going until the end. And believe me...The last ten minutes are GREAT..!!! Njoy!!!! |
| User ReviewDave HArite, I got roped into watching this tonight but while I must admit I am not a big fan of westerns, (A History of Violence is in a class all by itself); I thought this one was darn good. A rock solid classic western with strong actors in two crusty old timers; Kirk Douglas plays a lawman determined to bring justice his wife's killers and avenge her rape and murder. The problem is that one of the killers turns out to be the only son of his best friend, a rich land and cattle baron played by Anthony Quinn. A great no nonsense script with a superb showdown. |
| User ReviewAndrejs PThis lags at a bit in the middle but this is a tense and excellent Western. It plays more like a Greek Tragedy (mixed with lurid melodrama) than a standard revenge Western. The last minute or so is a bit cheesy but it's a solid genre exercise. |
| User ReviewJeremy NA brilliant western which sees Kirk Douglas seeking revenge on the men who raped and killed his wife. Unfortunately one of the men is the son of an old friend! An excellent script, great direction and some superb, believeable acting help make this one of the most interesting westerns ever made. |
| User ReviewYusuf YA movie ahead of its time. almost same plot is used in 3:10 to Yuma but there isnt Kirk douglas and anthony queen in it Matt Morgan: It's customary for the sheriff to cooperate - furnish deputies... Gun Hill Sheriff Bartlett: We've got our own customaries, Mr. Morgan. Anyway, the sheriff ain't around. Marshal Matt Morgan: When's he comin' back? Gun Hill Sheriff Bartlett: He ain't comin' back. Marshal Matt Morgan: [realizing he's being stonewalled, he puts his hands on his hips and smiles ironically] What are you? Deputy? Gun Hill Sheriff Bartlett: Don't matter much what you call me. [he takes a badge out of his pocket and throws it on the desk] Marshal Matt Morgan: [looking at the badge] I'm callin' you yellow! Gun Hill Sheriff Bartlett: Far as I'm concerned, you can go out on the street and get yourself killed anytime you want to, but, you know something, 40 years from now the weeds'll grow just as pretty on my grave as they will on yours. Nobody'll even remember that I was yellow and you died like a fool. That's your long view, son. Always take the long view. Marshal Matt Morgan: I've got two warrants, and I'm gonna serve them. I'm leavin' town with two men, and the long view is this: don't try to stop me! Marshal Matt Morgan: Isn't there anybody in this town that's not afraid of Craig Belden? Steve, Horseshoe Bartender': Sure! Graveyard's full of them! |
