An interesting if predictable western in which Fred McMurray should have been the father ;the most interesting part is Jeffrey Hunter's : a peaceful young man who hates fighting and thus is consudered a coward ,nay a sissy ; too bad the mother should disappear so soon - and her death is too hurried for comfort - though her overpossessive side is not very subtle .
Being the middle one , with a younger bro (Dean Stockwell) and a wise but manly elder one (MCMurray) ,is not an easy position;besides falling in love with the latter's fiancée only makes the matters worse .
The moral is crystal clear ; in the troubled world you live in , you've got to struggle, to use your fists and your gun (check the title) ;the morale is cut and dried ,but acting is good .
