Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A Western from 1950 directed by Anthony Mann and starring James Stewart, Shelley Winters, Dan Duryea, Stephen McNally, and Millard Mitchell.Lin McAdam, a former Texas ranger, is riding with his partner High-Spade Frankie Wilson to track down a man. When they reach Dodge City, they run into Dutch Henry Brown, the man they're looking for (though that's not his real name). As Wyatt Earp, the sheriff in town, is keeping a close eye on both of them and has taken everyone's gun, Lin and Dutch Henry confine their bad blood to a shooting contest that's in town; the winner gets the rifle of the title, which is supposed to be the best gun around. Lin ends up winning the contest, but before he can leave town, Dutch Henry and his gang ambush him and steal the gun. At this point, the film follows both Lin's attempt to catch up to Dutch Henry, as well as the path of the gun, as it ends up with a trader, a Sioux Indian chief, Steve Miller, a man trying to settle down with his girlfriend Lola Manners, and Waco Johnny Dean, a cocky gunman, among others.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Notable for being the first film to team up Stewart and Mann (they went on to make seven more films together), the first of Stewart's Darker and Edgier roles, and most important, the first film where a star (Stewart) agreed to take a lesser salary up front in exchange for a percentage of the profits, which helped change business practices in the movies. Rock Hudson and Tony Curtis, who would both go on to be big stars, appear briefly as a Sioux chief and a U.S. cavalryman, respectively. | |

And This Is for... | |
| Winchester '73 / int_19e41d8f | comment |
And This Is for...: A nicer version of this trope: when the army rescues Lola and Steve from the Sioux, Lola kisses the squad leader Sgt. Wilkes, for saving their lives; he jokes, "Now you disappoint me; I thought it was 'cause I'm pretty." Later, when Steve and Lola are about to leave, she kisses Wilkes again, and says, "This is 'cause you're pretty." | |

Satellite Love Interest | |
| Winchester '73 / int_835d1cd2 | comment |
Satellite Love Interest: Lola looks gorgeous but doesn't really affect the story very much, the plot being about the gun and the varous people that come in contact with it. Shelley Winters was later quoted as saying "If I hadn't been in it, would anybody have noticed?"Once Lin settles accounts with Dutch Henry, Lola definitely attracts his attention. | |

MacGuffin | |
| Winchester '73 / int_a6c69bd | comment |
MacGuffin: The gun of the title, though in an interesting subversion, not only do only a few of the characters really want the gun (or know how valuable it is), it's used more as a way to tie the characters together than as a goal the characters are after. | |

Exact Words: As Wyatt Earp is riding with Lin through town, he tells Lin about the shooting contest for the gun of the title, mentions he thinks the main competition for the gun will come from Dutch Henry Brown, and asks Lin if he's ever heard of him. Lin replies, "I don't recall the name". Soon, they come to the bar, and Lin almost gets into a fight with Dutch Henry when he recognizes him as his estranged brother Matthew, whom he's been obsessively tracking: | |
