Death of a Gunfighter Ratings & Reviews
Mister Arn
December 30, 2024
“Death of a Gunfighter” tells the story of a man clinging to his way of life while a town is determined to force him out, even through violence. Unfortunately, the poorly structured story and disjointed editing often make the film feel unintentionally silly, especially in its conclusion.
Variety
Variety Staff
Widmark elicits certain sympathy for his actions in his hardboiled interpretation, and for co-star has Lena Horne, in role of a madam.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
The title tells it all.
New York Times
Howard Thompson
The general tone, and point - festering hatred - is simply not enough to make the picture matter, although Mr. Widmark almost single-handedly does.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Death of a Gunfighter is quite an extraordinary western. It's one of those rare attempts to populate the West with real people living in real historical time.
