(Encore)
Relentlessly downbeat, stark western about the reluctant gunslinger Jack Slade. His reputation precedes him wherever he goes, and despite his hatred of guns and killing he is forced to use them over and over again. He falls in love and marries Dorothy Malone in a whirlwind romance. He's hired to protect a town from outlaws, and does so, but his reckless drinking results in the accidental harming of a little girl. The townspeople run him out of town, but not before he has a showdown with arch nemesis Barton MacLane. The ending is violent, depressing and inevitable.
