The same year he delivered one of the indelible performances in American movies--the cracked preacher in The Night of the Hunter--Robert Mitchum played another stranger who comes to town bringing death. In 1955's Man with the Gun, however, Mitchum's on the side of good, even if his actions are viewed through a somewhat ambiguous lens. Clint Tollinger is known throughout the West as a "town tamer," the badass you call in when outlaws get the upper hand in a place. The good citizens of Sheridan City are terrified of a local cattle baron, so Tollinger's arrival is just what they want--at first. His no-nonsense approach to wiping out the bad guys is enough to give a person pause. Meanwhile, Tollinger is reacquainting himself with an old flame, now the local bordello madam (Jan Sterling, from Ace in the Hole), who doesn't want any part of him. Mitchum, all broad-shouldered jackets and sucked-in gut, strides through this with his typically confident appeal, although it must be said he doesn't get much heat going with Sterling. (One wonders what might have happened if one of the uncredited cathouse ladies, Angie Dickinson, had played Sterling's role.) Man with the Gun was directed and co-written by a very civilized man, Richard Wilson, who had worked at Orson Welles' side back in the days of the Mercury Theater and during Welles' early years in Hollywood. He makes this film a thoughtful entry in the post-High Noon era, when Westerns were allowed to be complicated and serious. The main problem is, Man with the Gun just doesn't have a great deal of oomph, despite its good intentions and literate approach. As a Mitchum Western, though, it's solid enough. --Robert Horton

Excellent western classic. Robert Mitchum was a great actor; and sadly actors like him are no longer around to make the classic movies that are much better than what is being produced today.

Man With the Gun is pretty much forgotten now, but caused a minor storm of media interest back in 1955 when Robert Mitchum turned down both Jett Rink in Giant (which had actually been written for him and which was subsequently substantially reworked) and Charles Laughton's intended version of The Naked and the Dead to make it instead.
Despite some obvious production problems and some harsh lighting that occasionally renders both Mitch and Jan Sterling in unflattering tones, it's a terrific ... Read More

As of December 24, 2008 Amazon lists the "stars" of this movie as Jay Adler and Florence Ames, which might cause people to overlook this great Robert Mitchum and Jan Sterling flick. I tried to use Amazon's "catalog update" form to correct this error, but got email saying they could not verify my suggestion, even though I sent them a link to the IMDB page which listed Robert Mitchum and Jan Sterling as the top credited actors.
Amazon is showing Adler and Ames are shown as the stars of the movie, ... Read More

Man With The Gun is a great western. Mitchum is the brooding professional gunfighter just passing through, who reluctantly agrees to solve the town's problem with local ruffians and then refuses to quit when his methods draw criticism. Plenty of action. Black and white photography enhances the genre.
The overall plot is typical wherein a land baron seeks to gain more and more control of the territory and town and he uses the aforementioned ruffians to intimidate the townfolk. Mitchum makes the whole ... Read More
