Die letzte Kugel trifft

Audie Murphy unusually starts out as a mild-mannered homebody, but sure enough soon has to strap on his guns again as part of a posse which as led by Skip Homier are an even uglier bunch than desperado Darren McGavin's gang; with nobody daring to turn their back on anyone.

Ruta Lee makes a feisty moll to McGavin.

This low life actor that calls himself darren mc gavin ruins every scene he's in by stealing the spotlight but it doesn't work on audie murphy who puts him in his place ... night stalker indeed ... murphy always conducts himself with ease

A great movie that twists and turns as the characters in the movie are confronted with opportunity, regret, revenge, loyalty (or lack of).

It pumps along at a great pace, providing entertainment all the way.

Murphy's wife in this movie may be the 'pointy-est' woman I have ever seen in the old west (you will see what I mean lol) a miracle that no one loses an eye!

Lots of fun...enjoy :)

In tis Western AudieMurphy is a rancher and former Texas Ranger charged with bringing in Darren McGavin the lone survivor of a gang that robbed a bank. Wounded McGavin got away with the loot

The posse Murphy winds up with is one motley crew, a scurvy a lot as you'd come across. Bringing McGavin back Murph has as much to fear from them as he does from the Apaches they run into,

McGavin was a Texas Ranger who did turn outlaw. He was also at one time married to Murphy's wife Beverley Owen and Murphy is raising Kevin Tate who is McGavin's son as his own.

Lots of tension and action in this western. A lot of familiar faces in this cast. A standout performance is that of Ruta Lee as the outlaw moll. She's one cynical lady who takes life as it comes.

A good one fom Audie Murphy.

I do not know much about R G Springsteen, but I like his directorial work in BULLET FOR A BAD MAN, buoyed by excellent cinematography, breath-taking landcapes, and a cast in super form - notably leads Audie Murphy and Darren McGavin, the latter the former hubby of stunningly beautiful Beverley Owen, who now lives with Murphy. To add fuel to the fire, McGavin is the father of Owen's son, who is developing a relationship so close with Murphy as to call him "father;" and Mc Gavin robs the town's bank and everyone is looking for the dough and the reward that comes with it.

The plot cannot avoid some predictability but it is solid enough that you do not have to suspend your disbelief too much, and some of the dialogue warrants praise for its sharpness and dry humor.

No masterpiece, but you won't waste your time if you can catch it. 7/10.
