Warlock (1959)
Not a fantasy film as the title might suggest, this western stars Richard Widmark, Henry Fonda and Anthony Quinn. A small town wants an end to violence on the streets but is bringing in a hired gunman the answer?
The main thrust of this film is clearly about how to achieve law and order in a town out of control but it does not delve particularly deeply into the subject but is more interested in the relationship between the characters. As a whole the film works pretty well if a little on the long side and as usual for a western the female characters are not the strongest point, we get both the hooker with the heart of gold and school teacher archetypes here.
3/5
