Stewart does a decent job here shedding the "aw shucks" mannerisms and playing a slightly darker hero than usual. But it's an odd movie: ostensibly about the episodic travels of the titular gun, it sort of grafts on the overarching conflict between McAdam and Waco Johnnie Dean and their longstanding history (and then really grafts on a superfluous love story with Shelley Winters.) It feels weird because it's unclear what the movie wants itself to be, but each individual element works fine.

Great western movie, full of masculine cowboys out there in the west frontier. Something to remember about this movie: “a man with a friend is rich”. In America, true friendships are so rare that if you make a true friend, that’s so valuable because you know he will never betray you. That was very important in the old west to survive.

The prize rifle of a drifter (James Stewart) is stolen by his nemesis (Stephen McNally), apprehended by a gun-trader (John McIntire), involved in a cavalry vs. Indian clash, winds up in the hands of a man who struggles with cowardice (Charles More
