The Gunfighter

The preface ends the credits, star Gregory Peck rides into town where cocky Richard Jaeckel lurks in the saloon, Harry Shannon the barkeep and Pierce Lyden the friend trying to talk him down, in producer Nunnally Johnson’s high-end Western The Gunfighter, 1950, directed by Henry King.

Persuaded to stay in town on the chance his wife (Helen Westcott, who’s just outside) might see him after all, Ringo (Gregory Peck, title character) gets a visit from nearly snot-nosed local Hunt Bromley (ex-child star Skip Homeier), Karl Malden the bartender, in The Gunfighter, 1950.

Jimmy (Gregory Peck) gets schmoozed by saloon keeper Mac (Karl Malden), leaving town when he runs into old pal Molly (Jean Parker), who thinks she might get his wife, who lives in town under an assumed name, to see him after all, in Henry King’s The Gunfighter, 1950.

The sheriff (Millard Mitchell) quickly got word that reluctant celebrity gunslinger Jimmy (Gregory Peck) was in town, so he’s there to greet him after washing up, we learn they’re old pals, and that he’s got a reason for visiting, early in director Henry King’s The Gunfighter, 1950.

The fastest gun in the West (Gregory Peck) tries to escape his reputation in The Gunfighter (1950).
