Description

Scripted by Frank Nugent (THE SEARCHERS), GUNMAN’S WALK stars Tab Hunter as the drunken, gunslinging son of lawless rancher Van Heflin, and James Darren as his polar opposite brother–a dark, brooding pacifist. Better known for bitter, black-and-white film noirs like 99 RIVER STREET and THE PHENIX CITY STORY, Chicago-born Phil Karlson had the right idea about this widescreen color western, saying, “When I do color, I think in terms of black and white...we know that blood’s going to be awfully red, and it’s going to be pretty disgusting when they see it.” This print recently returned to the United States after spending several decades with a collector in Canada.
