    A decent western starring Glenn Ford as a shopkeeper who has a hidden past being the fastest gun slinger. He keeps this a secret until one day he shows his town how fast he can shoot a gun. This of course draws the attention of other gun slingers looking to prove they are faster....( read more) A solid entertaining western. The original story was made for a television show. But they decided to make it into a movie.Worth a watch if you enjoy the old black and white westerns. I liked it.

    This old movie gives me an impact of 1800's were the cowboys ruled... i anticipate a faster trigger hand shooting for the sake to be the fastest gun alive... the movie is good...
