Movie Reviews of The Gunfight at Dodge City
Movie Review: Standard Western Worth Watching For Joel McCrea
Summary: 3 Stars
At a brisk 81 minutes, THE GUNFIGHT AT DODGE CITY, is an easy way to pass the time. The plot is rather predictable and there are few surprises, but Joel McCrea is such a good actor that he elevates the rather mediocre script. The titular gunfight takes place in the final five minutes of the movie, and is anti-climatic. However, there are things to enjoy in the movie, such as good character development and some well-filmed action scenes. All of the standard Western cliches are present, and the film certainly breaks no new ground as later Westertns would, but it's still worth watching at least once, especially for the underrated Joel McCrea.
Summary of The Gunfight at Dodge City
With Gene Barry already riding the video range as legendary gunfighter-turned-lawman Bat Masterson independent producer Walter Mirisch hired old-timer Joel McCrea to play a rather less-dandified version in this routine Western released in Cinemascope. When his brother Ed (Harry Lauter) is cowardly shot in the back and killed Bat accepts to run for county sheriff against the corrupt Jim Regan (Don Haggerty) only to learn that the real killer is someone entirely different. Not wanting the job of sheriff in the first place but only accepting to please a lady friend the pious Pauline Howard (Julie Adams) Bat willingly breaks the law to aid an old friend (Walter Coy) almost losing both his position and his life in the ensuing shootout.System Requirements:Running Time: 81 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: WESTERN/CLASSICS Rating: NR UPC: 883904106784 Manufacturer No: M110678Westerns DVD Video
