At Gunpoint is a 1955 American CinemaScope Western film directed by Alfred L. Werker and starring Fred MacMurray, Dorothy Malone and Walter Brennan.
[2] In the Old West, brothers Alvin and Bob Dennis and their gang plan to rob the bank in Plainview, believing that it will be an easy job.
As the hero who refuses to get out of town when threatened by vengeful bandits, but remains to shoot it out with them despite the fears of the townsfolk, Mr. MacMurray is pretty much of a dud.
Likewise, Dorothy Malone is no Grace Kelly as the young wife who tries to encourage this singularly heroic fellow to run.
And certainly the script of Daniel B. Ullman and the direction of Albert Werker cannot hold a candle to the ''High Noon" contributions in those departments of Carl Foreman and Fred Zinnemann.
