Comment/Synopsis

Gregory Peck is an aging gunfighter who arrives in a small town looking for Helen Westcott his estranger lover and child. However he is unable to escape from his past as he keeps meeting people who want to kill him. This is more of a character study than a standard western as there are very few gunfights.
