Good Day for a Hanging is a 1959 American B Western film directed by Nathan H. Juran and starring Fred MacMurray and Margaret Hayes.

[1] Eddie Campbell (Robert Vaughn) and two other members of an outlaw band watch a stagecoach as it travels toward a Nebraska town.

Ben Cutler (MacMurray), owner of the stage line, is to be wed to Ruth Granger (Hayes).

His immature and foolish daughter, Laurie (Joan Blackman), is in love with Eddie, who left town some time before, and does not believe him to be truly bad.

Caring less and less for the murdered marshal and his widow, the townspeople begin to have their doubts, even Ruth, partly due to Eddie's manipulation of their emotions.
