The Gunfighter

Included in the "Fox Western Classics" Box Set

With its "resounding authenticity [and] great performances" (Los Angeles Times), The Gunfighter is a "terrific, hard-hitting [and] suspenseful" (Variety) western drama featuring a stirring and intense portrayal from the legendary Gregory Peck! Pecks stars as Jimmy Ringo, a notorious killer and the deadliest shot in the Old West. Though his appetite for bloodletting has waned, Jimmy is forced to stay on the run by young guns determined to shoot him down. After killing an upstart in self-defense, he escapes from the boy's vengeful brothers to the nearby town of Cayenne. There, he hopes to convince his estranged wife (Helen Westcott) to resume their life together, but his arrival causes a sensation. With more young bucks gunning for him, Ringo's fate lies in the hands of the sheriff (Millard Mitchell), his old bandit partner.
