This is one of Audie Murphy's Best. A real adult western. Audie Murphy, out to avenge the killing of his father by the gang who jumped their claim, gains a rep as a real fast gun. He rides into a town where the sheriff/gunfighter (McNally) uses his rep to keep the local gunmen in line. When the sheriff is crippled he covers his injury with bravado and hiring the "kid" as his deputy. It's cross and double cross as the sheriff chases the kid away because he thinks the kid betrayed the secret of his injury to his enemies. It's up to the kid to save the sheriff, get the gang and his revenge, and save the day. Great performances by a perfectly selected cast make this a must watch for classic western fans.

ANOTHER AUDIE MURPHY GEM,SEE IF YOU CAN SPOT A YOUNG LEE MARVIN,IF IM NOT MISTAKEN THIS MAY BE HIS FIRST STARING ROLE...THIS MOVIE WAS MADE IN THE WESTERN HAYDAY,TODAY THE PLOT MAY BE CORNEY,BUT I THINK IT STILL RESONATES WITH BOTH WESTERN AND MURPHY FANS ALIKE,FOR IT SHOWS A TRUE WORLD HERO ON STAGE NOT AN IMITATION,I SAY TRUE WORLD HERO BECAUSE IF IT WERE NOT FOR PEOPLE LIKE MR MURPHY AND MANY OTHERS,SEVERAL COUNTRIES WOULD BE SPEAKING ANOTHER LANGUAGE.

I had forgotten just how enjoyable this little Audie Murphy Western was until I recently purchased this handsome Universal DVD release. Murphy in this venture is "the silver kid," and his co-star Stephen McNally actually steals the show. The action is fast-paced and believable, the plot way above average. There are shoot outs, claim jumping, and some humor thrown in--Audie has some droll lines. Universal-International made a number of fine Murphy Westerns in the 1950s into the mid 1960s. DUEL AT SILVER CREEK is one of the better ones. Now let's hope that Murphy's finest outing in the genre, NO NAME ON THE BULLET, and some of his other, better films---RIDE CLEAR OF DIABLO, GUNSMOKE, SEVEN WAYS FROM SUNDOWN, TUMBLEWEEDS, get the nod from the engineers at Universal.
