    Audie Murphy plays a cool, fastgun deputy

    "The Duel at Silver Creek" is a 1952 Western starring Stephen McNally and Audie Murphy as a sheriff and green deputy who are trying to track down a murderous gang of claim jumpers. Meanwhile the sheriff pursues a new hottie in town (Faith Domergue) while the deputy is interested in a teenage cutie (Susan Cabot). A 27 year-old Lee Marvin is on hand as one of the possibly shady characters.

    I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this old Western. Murphy is great as the youthful and likable fast-gun and McNally is effective as the sheriff. Domergue is beautiful, but duplicitous and even shockingly evil (e.g. the unexpected strangling scene). Cabot is a joy to watch and it's interesting to see Marvin so young.

    The story is interesting with McNally narrating and it easily keeps your attention at only 77 minutes, but what brings my rating down is the roll-your-eyes plot gimmicks (for lack of better word) typical of old Westerns. For instance, the sheriff's bad finger that makes it almost impossible for him to squeeze the trigger of his handgun and how this becomes a big secret. And then there's the way the deputy expertly grazes the sheriff's arm in order to take his place in a fast-draw duel (What if he was off by a couple of centimeters?). If it weren't for these types of lame aspects I'd give "The Duel at Silver Creek" a higher grade.

    The locations are good, shot at three California ranches -- Corrigan Ranch, Iverson Ranch and Janss Conejo Ranch – as well as Vasquez Rocks.

    GRADE: B-

    A very basic but fun western

    A small western town is surrounded by small mines and areas of land run by their owners. A gang of claim jumpers are forcing the owners to sign their claims over to them but then kill them anyway. When Marshall 'Lightning' Tyrone takes a party after the gang he leaves old timer Dan Music as Deputy of the town. Having failed to find the gang, Lightning returns to find to find that Music has been murdered (shot in the back). Lightning sets out to get to the bottom of the murder and has several suspects already before the deceitful Opal Lacy points him towards Luke Cromwell, known as the Silver Kid. Whenever the Kid proves it could not have been him, Lightning takes him on as a deputy.

    I came to this film on the basis of it being Don Siegel's first western and the first film he made in colour. The plot is pretty basic and doesn't live up to the suggestions of the opening – instead becoming rather focused on the actions of a few characters. As such, it works on a B movie level and that is pretty much what I expected it to do. This focused plot is improved by a good range of fun characters – with fancy names and exaggerated characters to match: the tough broad, the kid, the tough sheriff, the old coot etc. All the clichés are here but they are delivered with a slight sense of fun that helps it move smoothly. The colour is good and Siegel's direction is solid enough (although he would do much better later).

    Despite top billing on imdb going to Murphy, the real lead here is McNally and he does it well. His sheriff is tough, friendly and it is him we care about when the final shoot out comes. Murphy is good but his character has less meat on it and he has therefore less to do that really sticks in the mind. Domergue is given a good character and she convinces as a sort of Western femme fatale. Cabot has a much more standard role and is less interesting as a result. Aside from Domergue the 'baddies' are fairly unmemorable; when the film started they were tough and violent but eventually we are presented Mohr's words in place of this and it really isn't enough for a fun B-movie.

    Despite it's obvious flaws this is a really good fun B-movie western and you'll like it if you view it as such. The plot is basic but enjoyable with plenty of likable characters who are as bright as the Technicolor they are presented in. Siegel's first western is a fun film and should be enjoyed as such – it's far from his best and fans may only come to it because of the significance in his career but it is worth seeing if you're in the mood for this type of film.

    Moving and colorful Western finely played and competently made by Don Siegel

    A band of claim jumpers assault humble proprietaries , gaining ownership of undermanned mining operations and killing anyone who gets in their way including the family of Silver Kid : Audie Murphy . Later on, Kid seeks vendetta and sets out in pursuit the murderers , as arriving in Silver City he befriends the local sheriff nicknamed Lightning : Stephen McNally . Then Silver Kid is deputized by the marshal to help him to track down the assailant group and to discover who murdered his former deputy . Along the way, the sheriff falls for a stranger female arriving in the town, who may not be healthy for him , she is called Opal Lacy : Fay Domergue ; while Kid romances the charming Susan Cabot . Gun against gun for the rule of the town¡ .

    This is an exciting Western with thrills , frantic action, go riding , crosses and double-crosses, and, of course , there are lots of shootouts. Here Stephen McNally is the real starring more than Audie Murphy. Both protagonists form an uneasy alliance against the outlaws who are infesting the territory through extortion , violent robbing and leaving no live witnesses . Stephen is acceptable as the tough sheriff who bears a wounded hand , though his role is supported by an unnecessary voice-in-off explaining the happenings . While quick-drawing Audie Murphy plays a nimble and swift gunrunner who seeks vengeance against those killed his father. Murphy was the most decorated soldier in WWII , and subsequently starred his self-biography : ¨To hell and back¨ and other wartime movies : ¨War is hell¨, ¨Battle of bloody beach¨ . Murphy played a lot of Westerns as ¨Texas Kid¨, ¨40 guns to Apache Pass¨, ¨The red badge of courage¨, ¨Guns of Fort Petticoat¨, ¨The unforgiven¨, ¨Arizona raiders¨, ¨Night passage¨, ¨Apache rifles¨, ¨Cimarron Kid¨, ¨The legend of Billy Kid¨, ¨Posse from hell¨, ¨Sierra¨, ¨Legend of Sam Guard¨ . Although he also performed in others genres in ¨The bad boy¨, ¨Joe Butterfly¨, and the considered to be his best one : ¨The quiet man¨. Both of them are accompanied by two gorgeous girls , the femme fatale Fay Domergue and the beautiful young Susan Cabot . Support cast is frankly excellent , such as : Lee Marvin, Walter Sande, James Anderson, Eugene Iglesias and Gerald Mohr.

    It contains a luminous cinematography in brilliant technicolor by Irving Glassberg. As well as thrilling and stirring musical score by uncredited Herman Stein and Hans J. Salter . Being financed in budget enough by the important producers as Leonard Goldstein and Ross Hunter. This picture Duel at Silver Creek was professionally directed by Don -Donald- Siegel. At his beginning he made Westerns and Noir Films as ¨Private hell 36¨, ¨The verdict¨ , ¨The big steal¨ , ¨Baby Face Nelson¨. Then, he directed Clint Eastwood in notorious films as ¨The beguiled¨, ¨Coogan's bluff¨,¨Two mules and sister Sarah¨, ¨Escape Alcatraz¨. Directing successful thrillers as ¨Madigan¨, ¨Charly Varrick¨. Finally, he directed failed films as ¨Rough cut¨ and ¨Black Jack¨, as well as TV episodes until his death.

    Fast-paced, entertaining and enjoyable

    I watched this film when it was recently shown on British television, largely because it was an early work by Don Siegel, at the time an up-and-coming young director, but later to become one of Hollywood's most distinguished directors, responsible for films as good as "Dirty Harry" and "The Shootist". It is a Western of the traditional heroes-and-villains variety. The villains are a gang of claim jumpers whose victims are the local miners. Their method of working is a simple one. They pick on a lone miner, force him to sign over his claim under threat of death, and then kill him anyway so he cannot inform on them. (The film does not point out the obvious hole in the scheme, namely that the claim jumpers will not be able to enforce their rights to the claims they take over in this way without revealing their identities).

    The main heroes are the local Marshal and the Silver Kid, a young gambler and gunfighter whose father was one of the claim jumpers' victims and who joins forces with the Marshal to seek his revenge. There are two complicating factors. One is that the Marshal has fallen in love with a young woman named Opal Lacey who is secretly in league with the killers. The other is that the Marshal has been shot in the shoulder, an injury which affects his ability to handle a gun.

    The best-known actor in the film is Audie Murphy. He made a few good films, most notably "The Red Badge of Courage", but a lot of his output consisted of routine Westerns. Murphy always seemed to be struggling against two disadvantages. The first was the fact that because he had become well-known to the American public for something other than his acting- he was a much-decorated war hero- he was unable to ditch his odd, feminine-sounding Christian name in favour of something more rugged. The second was his smooth, youthful looks which meant that he was frequently typecast as a callow young greenhorn even when he was in his thirties.

    Here, however, Murphy is pretty good as the Kid, a brash and undisciplined but basically decent young man who gradually grows in courage and stature. I would agree with the reviewer who pointed out that the relationship between the Kid and Steve McNally's older, wiser Marshal is similar to that between John Wayne and Ricky Nelson in "Rio Bravo". (I've never seen "El Dorado", the other film he mentions).

    "Duel at Silver Creek" is a fairly standard Western. As others have pointed out, its plot- the one about the heroic lawman tackling a gang of bandits- is familiar enough to be called a cliché, although that in itself does not mean that the film itself will be a bad one. After all, some very good Westerns, and at least two great ones ("High Noon" and "Gunfight at the OK Corral") have been based around it. "Duel.." is in nothing like the same class as those two films, but Siegel handles the action well, showing signs of the great director he was to become. It may be a B-movie, but it is a fast-paced, entertaining and enjoyable one. 7/10.

    Besides, how to handle a six-gun and poker is all I know.

    The Duel at Silver Creek is directed by Don Siegel and co-written by Gerald Drayson Adams and Joseph Hoffman. It stars Audie Murphy, Stephen McNally, Faith Domergue, Susan Cabot and Gerald Mohr. It's a Technicolor production with Irving Glassberg the cinematographer. The music is scored by Hans J. Salter (director Joseph Gershenson) and location for the shoot was spread over four California locations; Ranches Ray Corrigan, Janss Conejo, Iverson and at Vasquez Rocks Natural Area Park.

    A gang of crooks are murdering miners for their gold claims. Luke Cromwell (Murphy) loses his father to the gang and quickly reinvents himself as a gambling gunslinger known as The Silver Kid. Down in Silver City, Marshal Lightning Tyrone (McNally) is determined to bring to justice the claim jumping murderers. But he has a problem, his trigger finger is inoperative after he was shot, thus he can't let the bad guys know he is no longer "Lightning" on the trigger. After witnessing some of The Silver Kid's handy work, Tyrone hires him as a deputy to watch his back as he sets about weeding out the bad in Silver City. Luke is only too happy to help, he wants vengeance for his father's murder. But two ladies in town are to have a big impact on both of their lives, the question is if both men can finally achieve their goals without further loss of life.

    Brisk,colourful and highly entertaining Western fare for the undemanding matinée crowd. Forget all hopes of depth and intricate characterisations and expect an action packed shoot em' up instead. Siegel would go on to much bigger things and leave a lasting mark in cinema, here he makes a standard screenplay ping with excitement whilst getting spirited performances out of the cast. One look at the character names gives you a clue to what sort of Western this is: The Silver Kid, Lightning Tyrone, Opal Lacy, Johnny Sombrero, Rat Face Blake, Pop Muzik, Tinhorn Burgess (Lee Marvin in his first credited big screen outing) & Jane Dusty Fargo. Wonderful. Throw in some lovely scenery, Domergue's explosive costumes and the nice pairing of McNally & Murphy, and it's a film that's hard to dislike. Hey! It even comes with a film noir like narration as well.

    Don't dwell too long on the dialogue and simplicity of it all, just enjoy it for what it is. Good fun. 7/10

      This was Don Siegel's first western, as well as his first film for Universal, which became his home studio in the '60s and '70s.
    • Blooper
      During the climactic gunfight where rider Rod Lacy is himself chased on horseback by the marshal and both then dismount to continue shooting at each other, Lacy astonishingly manages to fire 11 shots from what is clearly a revolver pistol (which normally fires only 6) before an attempted 12th shot reveals it to be out of ammunition, and only then is Lacy forced to reload it - he is out of frame briefly whilst on his galloping horse (the camera cuts to the chasing marshal) but could not have conceivably re-loaded during that very short time, and at no point throughout is he shown to be carrying 2 guns.
