Grim but watchable
“The Quiet Gun” is surprisingly harsh in its depiction of the average folk of an average western town. Average — in this case — translates to racist, violent and none-to-bright. Sheriff Carl Brandon has to stand up to assorted black hats (including the ubiquitous Lee Van Cleef) as well as the dunder-headed locals. Forrest Tucker is good as Brandon and Hank Worden adds his usual stumbling, bumbling hijinks as Samson, the town moron with a heart of gold. A lot of westerns would have let the townsfolk redeem themselves heroically at the end, but this movie sticks to its guns. In the final scene Brandon stands alone to face the villains. “The Quiet Gun” is a nasty little tale with the courage of its convictions.

Enough Plot Twists and Good Performances to make it Good
Twentieth Century Fox created a subsidiary in the mid 1950s to release films it deemed not good to enough to release under its banner. Regal Pictures, like Fox, released most of its films in wide screen, using “Regalscope,” which appears technically indistinguishable from Cinemascope. Ironically, most of Regal’s output was as good or better than the B movies from Fox. “The Quiet Gun” is no exception, with fine performances from Forrest Tucker and Jim Davis and some surprising plot twists which lift this movie from the humdrum. Tucker plays a sheriff who must reluctantly pursue his friend (Davis), after Davis kills a busybody “district attorney” in self defense. Mara Corday and Kathleen Crowley provide the eye candy and Hand Worden plays the comic relief in a role similar to that of Walter Brennan in “Rio Bravo”.

ENCORE’s WESTERN CHANNEL shows the movie in full screen, which is a shame. Several effective scenes are undercut by the aspect ratio conversion. Still, “The Quiet Gun” is worth watching, if only to see Lee Van Cleef with a full set of hair. I rate it a “6”.
