5.0 out of 5 stars A Bleak and Desolate Classic, 26 Feb 2009
By Bob Salter "Sandman" (Wiltshire, England) - See all my reviews
Henry King was a film director of great longevity. He directed his first film "Who Pays" in 1916 and made his last "Tender is the night" in 1962. That he survived in the film industry this long was testament to his durability. Sadly most of his films are very forgettable affairs indeed. Amongst his large body of work he made two startlingly good films which stand out like shining beacons from the rest. In 1949 he made "Twelve O Clock High" set in the second World War, which has long been used as an example of the pressures that leadership can bring. In 1950 he made "The Gunfighter". He also made one interesting film in 1958 called "The Bravados", a film that highlighted the perils of taking the law into your own hands. All these films starred Gregory Peck. My Mother would argue vociferously that "Love is a many Splendoured Thing" is an all time great. I dont suggest you watch it to find out!

"The Gunfighter" is a very bleak and desolate film. The sort of film that has storm clouds and birds of prey hovering over it. The stark black and white merely accentuates that. It is full of forboding and menace. Gregory Peck plays Jimmy Ringo a a gunslinger unable to escape his reputation and a target for every two bit gunny. At the start of the film he is forced to gun down a very youthful looking Richard Jaeckel who taunts him into action. But he has three brothers who will be after his blood, so he is forced to move on yet again. Ringo is aging and he is tired of this hunted existence. He stops in the town of Cayenne where he sees his wife who has changed her name and his young son with whom he was unable to enjoy any sort of relationship. You realise early on that there can be no happy conclusion and that Ringo will never escape his past. We head inexorably to a tragic finale.

"The Gunfighter" is one of the great Westerns. It bears great similarity to "Shane" made three years later which also features a gunfighter unable to escape his past. A great film but I will commit heresy by saying "The Gunfighter" is the greater work for its downright honesty. Peck is excellent in the role that John Wayne coveted. The musical score fits the tone perfectly. If you like happy endings dont bother watching this film. If you like a brilliantly crafted and thought provoking film that has aged extremely well, then this is the film for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Gunfighter..... no Hollywood ending!, 8 Mar 2009
By Mr. N. MACDONALD "Buddy Horlicks" (Wick Caithness Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Sitting watching this movie it gives , I feel, a realism to what life was like in the days of the "Wild Wild West" Peck is the character of the films title ,the fastest draw and the target of all the SQUIRTS who think they are better.This movie is hard hitting and keeps you in suspense. Bob Dylan also(Its believed)quotes this movie in his song Brownsville Girl(if you listen to the song it fits perfectly). This film has closure, you are not left with an open mind to whats happened to the lead character , a la Shane, that another debate.Is this the Greatest western BC(before Clint)?I think its up there,I feel its the most honest and I highly recommend this movie as a must see.Thanks for reading.
