Customer Reviews of Death of a Gunfighter (1987)
A Very Good Western I have truly enjoyed watching "Death of a Gunfighter." I bought it online, and it was a good purchase. I've always liked watching a good western, and this is one. I highly recommend this movie- especially if you don't object to the interracial love affair between Frank and Claire. I personally think they make a great couple, and one of the movie's highlights is their wedding. My only regret is they don't get to live happily ever after, but it's fun watching them together for the duration of the movie.
"Death of a Gunfighter" was originally named "Patch," Richard Widmark's character's last name. The name of the film was later changed. This is the story of Frank Patch, sheriff of a small town in the early 1900s. He's been sheriff for 20 years, and after several deadly shootouts, with Patch being the lone survivor, the local townspeople are fed up with his methods of law and order, and want him out of office- no matter what. His only supporters are his son, Dan, a good, loyal young man, and Claire, his girlfriend of many years, played by Lena Horne, who is breath-takingly beautiful in this film. After more deaths, and more opposition, including from Lester, brilliantly played by Carroll 'O Connor, a visit from old friend Lou, played by John Saxon, who also tries to convince him to give up the job, Frank marries Claire. Watch for the big showdown that takes place after their wedding...
I really like the cast of this movie. Widmark, Horne, and 'O Connor I particularly enjoy watching, each lighting up the screen. It's also refreshing seeing Lena Horne in a dramatic, non-musical role, although she does sing "Sweet Apple Wine" at the beginning. Her acting skills shine, along with her grace and beauty. I can't picture anyone else in this role but her. Richard Widmark is great as tough-guy Patch. I love him in those tough-guy parts.
The film was shot during the summer of 1968, and released a year later by Universal. This has become one of my favorite movies. Like I said before, I highly recommend it!
