Plots(1)
The outlaw-besieged mining town of Warlock hires a professional vigilante gunslinger named Clay (Henry Fonda) and his club-footed sidekick (Anthony Quinn) to clean up the streets and restore law and order. They tidy things up all right, but their brutal methods call the whole concept of law and order into question. Eventually a reformed outlaw in town named Johnny (Richard Widmark) is elected sheriff, and a showdown with Clay seems inevitable, especially after a beautiful woman (Dolores Michaels) arrives in town accusing Clay of murdering her fiancé. (official distributor synopsis)

If it weren't so drawn out and the screenplay were tweaked a bit, it would be good. However, it lacked the necessary tension in this way, and individual characters tended to get lost, even though they had potential and, above all, great actors portraying them. Even the fights here don't come off as well as they could have. It’s too bad, it had more potential.
