Sinopsis(1)
Recognizing that wealthy cattle rancher Craig Belden's son, Rick, is one of his wife's killers, Morgan travels to Gun Hill to arrest him. Belden refuses to hand his son over, and Morgan is determined to capture Rick and take him away by the 9:00 train but he is trapped in the town alone, with Belden and all his men now looking to kill him.

The base is sufficiently stimulating and good, even more than good. Two long-term friends who respect each other, but also two men, who unwillingly need to face each other because of a burden of family responsibility. The problem is that the base is not developed in any way, it lacks any suspense, and overall it's more smooth than anything else, and top of that the inconsistent music is really annoying. What would really help is "applying the spaghetti approach" and I would be more than happy to have a dirty, escalated remake that is based more on psychology. There is no doubt that it has a large potential.

An excellent and straightforward western. As is often the case in the genre, it’s all about revenge, set against the backdrop of stunning western landscapes—something Americans have always nailed in these films. Kirk Douglas plays a tragic hero, and though his character is full of sorrow, his performance is outstanding. I was engaged from start to finish, with the beginning and ending being cinematic highlights, while the middle builds tension gradually but effectively. Carolyn Jones, the female lead, really stood out—proving she could hold her own in an era when women’s roles in westerns often felt more like an afterthought. Here, she’s anything but.

A slightly above-average western, which includes all the classic genre clichés, such as a fearless lone hero against overwhelming enemies, naturally equipped with incredibly precise aim, strong fists, and a tough gaze. However, thanks to the cast and a decent screenplay, it remains a fully functional affair even today. An interesting aspect is the racial motif in the story (an Indian can be killed because they are not considered a human being) because it was precisely at the turn of the 50s and 60s when an uncompromising fight for equality and an end to racial segregation of the black population occurred. Overall impression: 60%.
