- Gregory Peck's moustache made this box office poison | The Gunfighter (1950)
The Gunfighter (1950) is a classic American Western film that has left a lasting impact on the genre. Directed by the versatile Henry King, the film is a ground-breaking piece of cinema that presents an unglorified view of the Old West. The film stars Gregory Peck as Jimmy Ringo, a notorious gunfighter who is haunted by his reputation and the fear of loneliness. Peck’s performance is compelling, bringing depth and humanity to a character who is often seen as a villain in other Westerns.
The supporting cast includes Helen Westcott as Peggy Walsh, Ringo’s secret wife, Millard Mitchell as Marshal Mark Strett, a former outlaw and old friend of Ringo’s, and Jean Parker as Molly, a bar singer and former lover of Ringo’s deceased comrade. The performances of the cast are flawless, each adding a unique dimension to the story. The screenplay, written by William Bowers and William Sellers, is thought-provoking and cerebral. It was nominated for Best Motion Picture Story during the 23rd Academy Awards. The Gunfighter is a superb Western, almost classical in its observance of the unities. It’s a film that has the true dimensions of tragedy. This is a must-watch for any fan of the Western genre or classic cinema in general.

Gregory Peck, and Millard Mitchell (Marshal) starred together, as Army Air Corp generals. "12 0'Clock High," 1949. You guys did well on your prospective. Old man here. Raised on westerns.
Thanks mate. I’ll check that out. Can’t go wrong with Gregory Peck
The Gunfighter is a masterpiece of a Western and one of Gregory Peck's finest performances! You two are spot-on about this film. I also agree that 1950's and 1940's Western classics such as The Gunfighter, High Noon, and Red River definitely deserve more recognition than they get nowadays. Thanks for highlighting this great one, guys.
Yeah I think we’re going on a classic Western binge on the show 🤠
@@TheFilmyMcFilmFilmShow Can't wait!
NO way this bombed because of a mustache!
Yeah it’s a pretty bad excuse 😂
