Gunfighters Collector Edition ~ Randolph Scott, Barbara Britton, Forrest Tucker

Entertaining western. If you like Randolph Scott than you will like this movie. Typical western from the late 40s, kind of corny but a nice diversion from today's violent movies.

A fine script by Alan LeMay, the script writer and novelist who wrote THE SEARCHERS. A very strong cast headlined by Randolph Scott. Beautiful scenery, though this free download version from Amazon Prime is not as clears as it should be. Tense drama relieved by some deft touches of light comedic dialogue and action. All of this adds up to a very underrated Randolph Scott movie. Many, including me, regard this as one of Scott's top movies before he began his long association with director Budd Boetticher. And it is better than some of the Boetticher movies.

These reviews can be misleading. There are really 2 parts; the technical quality of the movie (sets, location, viewing quality, sound quality, video, transfer etc., and then the actual movie itself; directing, acting, story, staging, etc...I gave this offering overall (both parts of the movie) 4 stars because it is one of my favorite Randolph Scott movies which is hard to come by these days. A good, somewhat unique story, good supporting cast and well put together for it's time. The story was derived from a Zane Grey novel so it had a good start as well. The technical quality is a different issue; It just not very good at all, just ok at best. Mostly because the transfer was not high quality so the sound and picture are not as good as could and should be these days. But if you like Randolph Scott and have not seen this movie, it's still worth a view.

This is a relatively good story--it comes from zane Grey--but the streaming tape is very dark and marred by some flaws that effect the clarity of the picture. Moreover, the subtitles are unintelligible in many places. All the sentences from various actors are written together without punctuation so that it is impossible to attribute any given sentence to any given actor. Very bad for us very hard of hearing.

It was great fun seeing this Scott movie in color for the first time. I had only seen in in black and white a couple times before, in the days before color tv, This time I noticed that he was riding a big sorrel that might have been the daddy for his palomino Starlight that he rode in most of his later westerns. It was a fun western based on a Zane Grey story and with all the action that we came to expect from westerns made at that time. A great addition to my collection.

At the end of this movie, there is a part that is about a minute or so long that is missing. It is an important part because the sheriff is telling Brazos, among other things, that Banner and his daughter Bess are going to be brought up on charges. We noticed how that scene just seemed to be cut short so when the movie came up on tv we watched it and confirmed that. We are now leery of buying again from Gozillaflix.

Great movie of Scott's. Gozillaflix movies have not been quality Color off, hazy, which takes away from the enjoyment of the movie. I don't plan to buy anymore movies from them since I have bought 5 or 6 that the quality was not good like this one.

This Randy Scott movie is in color and the audio is good as well for a reproduction. Good western story and good scenery.

Passé à la postérité pour avoir signé The wolf man avec Lon Chaney Junior et Claude Rains, George Waggner réalisait, six ans plus tard en 1947, ce Gunfighters un anodin mais plaisant petit western dont l'intrigue recycle l'intrigue éprouvée du faux coupable : Brazos, ancien as de la gâchette ayant renoncé au port d'armes, est ainsi accusé à tort du meurtre d'un ami qui lui avait proposé de l'aider dans son ranch. Si c'est toujours un plaisir de retrouver Randolph Scott, cavalier élégant et acteur à l'économie de jeu rafraichissante, on se trouve à des lieues des chefs d'oeuvre qu'il tournera sous la la direction de Budd Boetticher, ce parallèle n'étant pas indu puisque la production est déjà ici assurée par Harry Joe Brown qui se chargera de produire ces films légendaires désormais passés à la postérité. Valant essentiellement pour quelques scènes professionnellement tournées dans de splendides décors naturels (haletante lutte sous les fers de chevaux piaffant) mais aussi pour la rivalité entre deux soeurs quasi jumelles que le scénario d'Alan Le May exploite habilement, le film de 87 minutes est proposé dans une copie moyenne (1.33 16/9) aux couleurs ternes et aux dialogues parfois étouffés (vf ou vost). En supplément une présentation par Patrick Brion.

très belle prestation de Randolph Scott , un peu déçue du contenu du film j'attendais plus d'action . On passe tout de même un bon moment et pour les inconditionnels du western cela reste un dvd à posséder, d'autres on ma préférence comme par exemple la flèche brisée avec James Stewart ou une corde pour te pendre avec Kirk Doulas
