Last Train from Gun Hill is a 1959 Western directed by John Sturges. It stars Kirk Douglas, Anthony Quinn, and Earl Holliman. This was Douglas and Quinn's third film together after Ulysses and Lust for Life. Douglas and Holliman had previously appeared together in Sturges' Gunfight at the O.K. Corral.Two young drunken cowboys rape and murder a Native American woman while she and her son are returning from a visit with her father. The boy escapes on one of the killers' horses, which bears a distinctive saddle, and rides for town. His father, Matt Morgan (Douglas), is a U.S. Marshal there.Morgan recognises the saddle. It belongs to his old friend Craig Belden (Quinn), now a rich cattle baron and the de facto ruler of the town of Gun Hill. Assuming the saddle was stolen from his old friend, Morgan takes the train to Gun Hill to pick up the trail. Once there, he quickly realizes that Belden's son Rick (Holliman) is the killer.Belden refuses to turn over his son, forcing Morgan to go against the entire town. Morgan vows to capture Rick and get him on that night's last train from Gun Hill. | |

| Last Train from Gun Hill / int_1e584efa | comment |
Cruel and Unusual Death: Morgan's father-in-law wants to kill his daughter's murders slowly, "the Indian way." Later, Morgan describes "the white man's way" as this to Rick, with his trial, his sentencing, the wait for his execution, and even his execution providing Rick plenty of time for mental and physical suffering. | |
