This western isn't well known but it's really a pretty good movie. Bobby Darin puts in a fine performance as a Civil War veteran returning back from the war after accidentally killing his friend, and for that reason no longer wearing a gun. It can be highly recommended to those who really love westerns. Even those who only watch westerns occasionally should be able to appreciate "Gunfight in Abilene" as well.
It also features a fine song called "Amy." It was released only as the flip side of Bobby's hit "Lovin' You," but should have been a hit in its own right. "Gunfight in Abilene" definitely deserves more recognition than it's received so far.
