This was a fine western with Richard Widmark.Although somewhat aged,he still possessed that tough no nonsense approach as the town Marshall.His performance stands out here as a gritty gunfighter from way back even as the time is rapidly changing for his kind.Thanks for screening.❤
Ok Richard Widmark - late in his career-But hhe still had that swagger That sinister laugh He was oneof a kind He did great work late in his career - Madigan - The Bedford Incident - Where the Legends lie - He was truly one of a kind -
thank you for the great movie.also, Very nice to see the beautiful Lena. Too bad she didn't sing a song. Archie Bunker was great in a beard! Wonderful movie.
Why didn't the Sheriff just do like the rest of us do when we get fired? Tell them to kiss off, do a few doughnuts in the parking lot and go get a better job.
Death of a Gunfighter 1969. After shooting a drunk in self defence and humiliating the local newspaper editor into taking his own life, town officials take drastic action to oust the sheriff from office.
According to Wiki, "The film [DEATH OF A GUNFIGHTER] began under the direction of Robert Totten, an experienced television director. After clashes with star Widmark, and almost a year of work, he was dropped and replaced by Don Siegel, When the film was finished Siegel did not want his name to replace Totten's. Widmark protested and an agreement was made with the Directors Guild of America for the pseudonym Alan Smithee to be used". This is a direct quote. What it doesn't go into is that it was made in 1968, the year of yet another assassination. IMO, the producer simply used a western genre to convey a radical point. Those were radical times.
It should have been called the "Death of a Town Marshall", not a Gunslinger. I liked Richard Widmark, but this western film didn't make a lot of sense. I was hoping a real gunslinger would show up in town, and they would regret firing him, and beg him to take his job back.

Richard Widmark: fine actor.
A good supporting cast. Many familiar faces. Worth checking out.
A superb movie, acting if Richard Wudmark is best, matchless. One should not miss it. Atiq Khan. Karachi.
Ok Richard Widmark - late in his career-But hhe still had that swagger

"A popular western movie." What's wrong with naming it? I know its title, but many non-buffs won't.

Real name of this movie is - Death of a Gunfighter (1969)
Good old fashioned Western movie, don’t make them as good as they used to, unfortunately.
01:28:42 WTH!!! Is that OJ Simpson?????
GREAT movie!! Thank you for this excellent quality upload! OK...to the finale...
@pedrovision6987 it is! IMDb information lists him as an uncredited townsman
When the bureaucrats are done with you.
Excellent
There's not even a title shown for this movie, much less credits. 😮
Wow...an entire town full of cowards...why exactly did they hate him that much? He didn't seem like a bad guy at all...
Primeira vez
Why do people who put these films on never give titles!!!
so they stay on and dont get removed

Good they don't make'em like this anymore.
The movie title is " DEATH OF A GUNFIGHTER".
The backround music drives me nuts!

Death of a Gunfighter is back in the day.
Dirty turn coat bastards .cause he wouldn't go their way .
This seems to be "The Shootist" more or less, with Richard Widmark in the John Wayne role, and whoever this red-headed lid is instead of Ron Howard.
Lena Horne really was beautiful.
This movie is about the Human "Lower Mind, aka Ego Mind, aka Adolescent Mind".
... and the choice to Mature to the "Higher Mind,. aka Adult Mind."
NOW WE JUST CAR JACK EM OR DO DRIVE BY'S. OLE BETH YOU GOT IT, YOUR LIVING IN THE LAND OF MILK AND HONEY UNDER BIDEN/HARRIS!!
tell me; of what mind are you?
Was that O J Simpson.???? Carol OConner played a spry Rolly Polly bad guy.
gunslinger; gunfighter; gunman; rifleman; federal marshall vs county sheriff (deputy);
A better display of “democrats” is hardly possible.
👍💪🤗🙏👍

A very slow film, not much action.
Widmark was too slow for this boy but he got the shot in anyway>
Não gostei do vídeo
Great Movie, except the Evil Catholic side to it!
It not that good I really like his movie this is not his best,

movie sucked if you like happy endings
Af last a western where a handgun doesn't,t kill with one shot., and the cowardice of the men was for all to see. American capitalism.
Try starving in North Korea or Venezuela's socialist paradise, comrade.
Utter rubbish and melodramatic. Leno Horne totally miscast.
What a stupid movie. Stupid ending.
Excellent
