Gunfighters (1947)
8/10
Rare Randolph Scott western is well worth the hunt.
30 August 2010
Warning: Spoilers
Look down the list of Scott's westerns on this site and the two you most likely haven't seen are this one and RKO's "Trail Street." Long hard-to-get you can find both occasionally on eBay, but not at Netflix.

Gunfighters (1947) is a first rate Scott western, from the era when his best westerns were made. Columbia made this one in Coinecolor and the picture quality and color far exceed the usual Cinecolor quality (normally not too good.) Scott takes his many problems in stride, such as attempting to put aside his gun and live down his fast-draw reputation. Too bad his old friend gets murdered by a bunch of bad guys and he's got to deal with two pretty women (sisters) and I'll take the young one, thanks!

Look for it. After all, 2010's Hollywood could never make a western this good; actually they can't make any kind of picture that would be sought-after in 60 years (or 60 days).
