This movie immediately grabs one's attention, with the premise of revenge by Morgan/Douglas for the brutal rape/murder of his Indian wife. However, after his bold foray into his nemesis' territory, and his capture of the perpetrator, the movie bogs down and treads water during the long period that he & his captive are holed up in the hotel room. Further, some questions strain credibility: why would Morgan go alone to Gun Hill, rather than with a posse? why is a shotgun so essential to his plan (the plan would have worked just as well with the pistol he had)? And the resolution is just too contrived. Having said that, Douglas and Quinn turn in fine performances and the movie is nicely photographed.
