The Gunfighter (1950)

A great acting performance you should know.
Favorite Movie Quote: "How come I've got to run into a squirt like you nearly every place I go these days? What are you trying to do? Show off for your friends?"
I thought I would go back and try to catch as many of the movies I
could that were made in the year I was born. I felt that I might get a
look at life at that time. Of course, many of those movies will be
westerns such as this and not helpful for anything but a reminiscence
of what I watched as a child.
Gregory Peck played a very believable part in this film. He was tired
of the "life" and wanted to settle down. It's not that easy when you
have a "name," as there is always someone looking to make a name for
themselves.
This is an adult film, not a cartoon. It is about choices made in life
and the consequences. It is also about prejudices and rumors, the cult of celebrity, but I think the most important lesson learned is not in this film, but in
it's ending.
It is Peck's finest hour until To Kill a Mockingbird.
