Synopsis: Last Train From Gun Hill (1959)

Synopis: Kirk Douglas stars as U.S. Marshal Matt Morgan. When Morgan's wife is raped and murdered because she's a half-breed, the killers leave behind a saddle that he recognizes as the property of his friend Craig Belden (Anthony Quinn), a wealthy cattle rancher in the nearby town of Gun Hill. Realizing that Belden's son Rick (Earl Holliman) is one of the killers, Morgan travels to Gun Hill to arrest him. Although sympathetic about the death of Morgan's wife, Belden predictably refuses to turn over his son when the marshal makes known the purpose of his visit, claiming that Morgan owes him for having once saved his life. Not only must Morgan locate and arrest Rick, but he has to do so before the last train leaves Gun Hill at 9 p.m. Although the whole town, which is virtually owned by Belden, seems to be against him, the marshal receives some much-needed help from Linda (Carolyn Jones), the sharp local madam. The entire cast is excellent and John Sturges's direction is exemplary in this solid if unsurprising genre exercise.

   Yes, it's one of my favorites, a real melodrama, almost a soap opera, but it has you dearly gripped from the very first moments, and you just won't want to leave your seat. Highly evocative, this film. Anthony Quinn was perfection. Douglas too was finest quality. A very VERY superior film. Emotions ran so deep in this plot that it simply boggles the mind. ...

   This is classic Douglas and one of his greatest roles. A true Western with all the elements of suspence excitement and a great cast of characters with a great climax. Adding to a great supporting cast, including Anthony Quinn only adds to this tense story of revenge. Directed by one of the great directors of Westerns John Sturges adds to his impressive list of credentials. The film of only 93 minutes moves along fast. No I will not tell you the storyline because this is one great classic westerns that should not be missed and I cannot wait for the day this comes out on DVD
