Family problems

Last Train from Gun Hill (1959)

Directed by John Sturges this film stars Kirk Douglas, Anthony Quinn, Carolyn Jones and Earl Holliman. Two old friends fall out after the son of one rapes and murders the wife of the other.

Very familiar genre stuff here with a law man trying coming up against a man who things family is more important than the law. As with any John Sturges film this is a well handled piece that is a solid genre entry but not much more. Having two great actors in the lead roles helps but they don't have a huge amount to do beyond the ordinary.
