Review of Last Train from Gun Hill (1959) by Steve W — 31 May 2016
Even though it shares the same plot line of 3:10 to Yuma, this tense western relies on its stars to get through its basic plot. Matt Morgan (Douglas) is a town marshal, and his son is traumatized when his native wife is raped and killed by two riders.
The perpetrator happens to be the son of Craig Belden (Quinn), who rules the town with an iron fist. It makes it even worse that these two used to be friends. Morgan kidnaps the perp and now Belden and his small platoon of hired hands are itching to stop him from reaching a 9pm train out of town, and this movie about fathers/sons, justice/revenge hits all the right notes.
