Gunpoint

As much as I love and respect fellow Veteran Audie Murphy, I never understood why he accepted roles in some of these " C " Westerns. I know it was in the 1950's and we would go watch anything at the picture show, especially Westerns. I probably loved this movie when I was a kid and should have carried those memories with me.

Having never seen this (as one brought up on westerns) I have to say that older age hasnt helped. It starts off well enough knowing that the deputy sheriff is helping the villains but then descents into a farce as the sheriff leads a posse into the desert chasing those who have also robbed the town bank. A sudden appearance of Edgar Buchanan and his two sidekicks reduces everything to an even lower level and the final shoot out is one easily forgotten. Leave this one alone, He did a few vastly superior to this
