     Man with the Gun
1955  NR  WESTERN  1h 24min
CAST— Robert Mitchum, Jan Sterling, Angie Dickinson, Barbara Lawrence, Karen Sharpe, Henry Hull
MUSIC— Alex North  DIRECTOR— Richard Wilson

     OK Western fare featuring Robert Mitchum as a “town tamer”, one who rids a town of its unpleasant side. But in this particular town Mitchum has a personal agenda: he’s come to call on his estranged wife in hopes of visiting his little girl. But business before pleasure. Murderous cowhands are running myriad and he’s the only one fit to tame this town. Mitchum’s presence holds this standard film together, but honestly, who’ll remember this one a year from now? AKA The Trouble Shooter, Deadly Peacemaker.
OUR RATING— ** ½
