The Gunfighter is a 1950 Western film directed by Henry King, starring Gregory Peck, Helen Westcott, Millard Mitchell, Jean Parker, and Karl Malden.Aging gunslinger Jimmy Ringo (Peck) rides into a strange town where he's immediately recognized. As kids gather at the saloon windows to glimpse the killer and townsfolk gossip about his exploits, the town marshal (Mitchell) tries to keep the peace. He wants Ringo out of town, but Ringo asks for a few hours' grace to visit with his estranged wife Peggy (Westcott), who he hasn't seen in more than eight years, and their son, who he's never seen. Meanwhile, three angry cowboys are on his trail and the town's young hothead is scheming to see just how fast Jimmy is. Ringo only wants to be left alone, to live with his family, maybe on a small ranch away from his reputation. But can he escape that reputation and find peace? | |

The Barber: The film uses the barbershop first as a place for The Gunfighter Wannabe to learn that The Gunslinger has come into town. The barber then warns The Sheriff, allowing him to intervene. | |

Get Out!: Marshal Strett delivers this, along with some punches, to Bromley after Bromley shoots Ringo dead. He knows that Bromley will get killed sooner or later, but it won't be in Strett's territory. | |

Decoy Antagonist: The gunslingers who spend the film tracking Ringo are easily neutralized, without bloodshed. Ringo's more threatened by Hunt Bromley. | |

| The Gunfighter / int_c3c18143 | comment |
Hope Spot: Ringo's gotten a chance to meet with his wife and the son he's never seen until now, and the town marshal has planned a quick getaway before the gunslingers hunting Ringo can get there. Unfortunately, Bromley's still smarting from his embarrassing takedown, and still desperate for a reputation as a gunslinger... | |

Revised Ending | |
| The Gunfighter / int_d51158ee | comment |
Revised Ending: In the original ending, Hunt Bromley was arrested by the sheriff, but studio chief Darryl F. Zanuck demanded a stronger resolution, so Henry King and Nunnally Johnson rewrote the final scene. | |

Cruel Mercy | |
| The Gunfighter / int_e19e68 | comment |
Cruel Mercy: Ringo gives this to Hunt Bromley. A dying Ringo swears that he drew first, sparing Bromley from being hanged for murder. But now Ringo knows Bromley will spend the rest of his life looking over his shoulder, hunted by some other young punk wanting a reputation by killing the man who killed Ringo. Soon, Bromley will know that being "a big, tough gunny" is a miserable way to live. | |
