Good performances, dialogue bolsters standard western
27 July 2021
Hotshot gunfighter Lot McGuire (Chad Everett) intends to make a name for himself by out-duelling legendary bandit-turned-lawman Marshal Dan Blaine (Glenn Ford). Before any bullets fly, however, Lot and his intended enemy strike up an unlikely friendship, and Blaine tries to convince the youngster to call off the shootout. Unfortunately, Lot can't be talked out of his quest for glory and so he guns down a few hostile locals, leaving Blaine no choice but to finally accept the offer for a showdown.

Standard "young gun wants to add notches to his gun to kill a fast gun", which is bolstered by good performances by Glenn Ford, Angie Dickinson and Chad Everett. Meanders a bit in the beginning but when Chad appears it picks up - but it's not too outstanding, can plod in places. It's watchable and has some good dialogue, but mainly routine.
