Face of a Fugitive (1959)

Directed by Paul Wendkos
My rating: 3.5 stars out of 4
IMDb

Fred MacMurray is excellent in this sleeper. His character gradually undergoes a transformation from outlaw to law-abiding citizen over the course of one day and night. Along the way, he must deal with a cowardly sheriff, outraged rancher, and lonely widow. A good drama all the way around, ending in a shoot-out at an abandoned hotel. A very early role for James Coburn as one of the bad guys.
