This movie comes from a Zane Grey novel: Twin Sombreros, 4 August 2005
4/10
Author: mpbodul from Whitefish Bay, WI

I like westerns and I like Randolph Scot, but this movie really went astray in following the original novel's plot. No wonder writers hated (and still do) the Hollywood studios and the management of those enterprises.

Although this movie was well done, the name change to the Gunfighters, was the first in a series of disappointments of this film. The plot line wanders well away from the novel; even the heavy drawl of Brazos Keene, is toned way down from the original to the "cleaned up" Randolph Scot version.

I have generally preferred the original story in Zane Grey's novels to the movies' Hollywood versions.
