Invitation To A Gunfighter
Oscar® winner Yul Brynner turns in a "great performance" (Los Angeles Herald Times) as a smooth master gunfighter who must do battle with his most formidable adversary - his own conscience - in this gripping, double-barreled western full of blistering shootouts, surprise twists and colorful villainy.
In a New Mexico frontier town, Jules Gaspard d'Estaing (Brynner) is hired by the town's boss (Pat Hingle) to kill Matt Weaver (George Segal), a Civil War veteran who returns to reclaim his farm and his woman. But when d'Estaing realizes that Weaver may be the only honest man left, the conflicted hired gun must either kill an innocent man - or destroy his own reputation - in a heart-stopping final showdown.

Decent Western!! - delpiero
The Movie:
This is not a great western but it isn't bad either. I will say that it is different than your standard 'good guy vs. bad guy' plotline. Yul Brynner is great in the role and he is definately the reason to watch this. He plays a cool and sophisticated bounty hunter. There are some scenes that don't feel right and seem out of place and some of the writing and plot are a little weak. However there are some scenes mainly with Brynner that are very well done as well. A mixed bag...I recommend this to western fans only.
The DVD:
No anamorphic enhancement is the major downside here. The picture just won't look as good on your widescreen tv without it. Picture is pretty good otherwise with no problems...sound is good as well.A Noble showing - LOBBY
Corruption and manipulation of towns people is not good for everyone. Where most people cower a couple take the other root to try to do what is just. For different reasons and in different ways. A well presented story with a little of everything. A good watch.
