Editorial Reviews
Live by the gun, die by the gun? "Depends on what kind of shot you are," fast-drawing Tom Early says. Folks in an emerging frontier community in 1880s Wyoming Territory want nothing to do with Early's kind of six-shooter justice. But he may be the only one who can stop cattlemen from destroying the town. Stewart Granger portrays Early, adding gunfighter to a movie resume that includes adventurer (King Solomon's Mines) and swashbuckler (Scaramouche). Flame-haired Rhonda Fleming (Gunfight at the O.K. Corral) co-stars in this Western morality tale whose contributors include blacklisted and uncredited writer Ben Maddow (The Asphalt Jungle).

Standard Plot, But Solid Stewart Granger Western,
By
This review is from: Gun Glory [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Stewart Granger was in a number of action films, and he's best known for being in adventure films like King Solomon's Mines, or swashbucklers like The Prisoner of Zenda and Scaramouche.
But Granger also made several Westerns. One of the better ones was Gun Glory, which took a standard "Gunfighter helps protect farmers from, rich, evil rancher," and helps it become interesting. Granger plays a gunfighter who's tired of having to live up to his reputation, and comes home to settle down with his wife and son. He finds his wife dead, and his son sullen and resentful. Rhonda Fleming stars as a housekeeper who comes to stay with Granger and his son. A wealthy rancher, played by James Gregory, plans to stampede his cattle through Granger's and his neighboring farmers' land. Granger tries the peaceful route, but of course, it does not work, and Granger and Gregory head for a showdown. Gun Glory isn't original or the best of it's genre, but it's well done and more than good enough to warrant a viewer's time.

This review is from: Gun Glory (DVD)
Stewart Grainger did not make many westerns but the ones he did make were good. Nicely matched against Rhonda Fleming the story is about the problems with cattle drives. Fine western photography and Burl Ives singing a song in the opening credits. D. Corbitt (Western Movie Buff)
