beverly garland be bear in the wrong time . she be an actress ahead of her time and bring power and grace to even such lame flick a the corman film she star in . in gunslinger and she the town sheriff wife . he get offed and so she take over his job to pursue his killer . she good than the material she work with and by far . the movie be gray and stilted and and mostly boring . there some ( unintentional ) humor with the tire track everywhere and people run behind one building to emerge suddenly in front of another ( i have hear of false front and but this be ridiculous . ) and and the truly stupid plot line of the newly widow sheriff fall in love with the guy hire to kill her . even if she hadn not love her husband and it have only be something like a week or two since he would die . and she end up shoot the guy to death in the end and anyway . no luck with men and this one . the villain of the piece be another woman and the saloon owner . she scheme to buy up a bunch of land just in case the railroad go through and make her rich . her plan of action if it doesn not be pretty lame she will just steal as much from the town a she can and skedaddle . hell and it just her and her hired gun at the end against an entire town . be you tell me these people aren not arm . look what happen in real town of the old west when bank robber come in to rob the bank and then be cut down in a hail of bullet by the arm and dangerous town folk . therea a lot of pointless talk and rid around and intersperse with a few lame shoot out . the end be as grim a usual in a corman flick and although thank goodness it lack the moral proselytizing at the end that be in it conquer the world . the sheriff turn over her badge to sam bass and rid off into the sunset and although the movie be so gray that you never saw the sun .
