Silver City is a 1951 American Western film directed by Byron Haskin and starring Edmond O'Brien, Yvonne De Carlo, and Barry Fitzgerald.

Candace Surrency is pleased when Moffatt confirms the value of the ore sample she brought him, but distressed because her dad, Dutch, is leasing the mine and has just 12 days to get what he can before mineral rights revert to the already rich and wealthy RR Jarboe.

He does explain that he indeed was in on the robbery, planning it as a way to get more money for the greedy Jo, until a guilty conscience led him to leave for good, not spending the stolen loot.

In a final gunfight at a sawmill, Moffatt is saved from being shot by one of Jarboe's henchmen by Charlie, who shoots the henchman.

In the final scene, Moffatt kisses Candace outside the Surrency home as her father, Dutch, decides to go inside and leave them alone.
