      Despite the 1870s setting of the film, all of the major characters are dressed in clothing that either reflects later fashion styles, or which was clearly sewn on modern sewing machines (circa mid-1960s)

    6/10
    Routine and ordinary Western about a relentless pursuit with Audie Murphy as a stubborn and blinded sheriff
    After a violent robbing, a posse is created to pursue the cutthroats. As a Colorado sheriff called Chad : Audie Murphy, and a suspicious deputy : Denver Pyle along with a gambler : Warren Stevens, chase a band of train robbers who have abducted a woman, Joan Staley, an old flame of the obstinate marshall. Things go wrong when the posse goes into New Mexico, a territory where sheriff Murphy doesn't have jurisdiction. The ominous gang is led by a ruthless nasty, Morgan Woodward, and all them are attacked by Apache Indians. The story of a town with a gun in its back !.

    Passable but neither notable, not extraordinary, but a run-of-the mill Audie Murphy Western from his worst and final period. That's why Audie was in his fall, in late sixties when he made low-budget westerns as " Texas Kid, 40 guns to Apache Pass, Legend of Sam Guard, Apache rifles" . While in the 50s Murphy played better and more budgeted Westerns such as : "Night passage, Column South, Duel at Silver Creek , Ride a crooked trail , The Red badge of courage , Cimarron Kid" . Besides, Audie made some other notorious non-Western films as "The American" and his self-biography : " To hell and back" . Murphy was the most decorated soldier in WWII and in "Gunpoint" Audie gives a cool acting as a determined sheriff who seeks for justice, but he is partially blinded, spoiling his attempts to shoot and defenceless against enemies . Here Audie is well accompanied by a good cast, many of them familar faces in Western genre, such as : Warren Stevens, Denver Pyle, John Hoyt, Edgar Buchanan, Roy Barcroft, Mike Ragan, Robert Pine's film debut and Morgan Woodward as the cruel villain.

    It contains a thrilling and moving musical score by Hans J. Salter, Universal Pictures's regular. As well as atmospheric and functional cinematography by William Margulies. The motion picture was professionally directed by Earl Bellamy. This prolific filmmaker shot hundreds of television episodes and some films. As Earl made episodes of known and popular TV series such as : " V , Blue Thunder, Fantasy island, Get Smart, young Daniel Boone, Lassie, Fury, Masquerade, US Marshall, I spy, Resltless gun, Mike Hammer, Crusader" . And a few feature films , such as : " 3 guns for Texas, The toughest gun in Tombstone , Seminola uprising , Fluffy , Incident at Phantom Hill , Walking tall 2" , among others. Rating 5.5/10 . Acceptable and passable. The flick will appeal to Audie Murphy fans.
