Directed by John Sturges, Last Train from Gun Hill (1959) is a solid Western with elements of High Noon and 3:10 to Yuma mixed with some original twists. The story concerns a lawman whose squaw wife is raped and murdered, and the confrontation that happens when he finds out that the guilty culprit is the son of his best friend. Limited sets work well and create great atmosphere. Kirk Douglas and Anthony Quinn are superb in the lead roles. The supporting cast is good as well, including Carolyn Jones and Earl Holliman.
