Complex and interesting film features Heflin as a patriarch who has brought law and order to the West with his guns. Hunter is the son who wants to top his old man's reputation. Darren is the other son, a gentler man who wants no part of violent business. Grant is a halfbreed Indian girl who suffers from racial prejudice. As Hunter grows more ruthless in his task, Heflin realizes what must be done and finally guns down his boy. The film is direct, moving intensely towards its inevitable climax. One of GUNMAN'S WALK's best features is its direct exposure of the racial discrimination aimed at native Americans, which provided a timely allegory for American society in the 1950s. leave a comment
