"The Man From Del Rio" (1956)
- Anthony Quinn, Katy Jurado

Dave Robles, a Mexican gunfighter passing through the town of Mesa out draws and kills a famous outlaw.
He's then invited by a former gunfighter turned saloon owner named Barrister to join a gang he's forming and take over the town.
Instead Robles takes the job as Sheriff and becomes Barrister's enemy.

Phantom's review: A very well acted little movie. Light on action, but has a good story and is an interesting character study. Watch for legendary character actor Whit Bissell as the town drunk. He steals every scene he's in.
