It's like they were trying to fit as much into the hour and a half as possible. Some great characters including Velvet Clark, Mike Ryan and Sheriff Jones. Theres some pretty strong violence, especially in Clark's case. He's a dark character that doesn't shirk at killing people. Enjoyed Joel McCrea's acting as well as his distinctive and memorable voice. A couple of scenes don't really make sense, for example, when the stage driver (Slim Pickins) gets drunk after being robbed? Otherwise, this is a good, classy black and white western. Much enjoyed. See more 06/28/2013 Joel McCrea's portrayal of a tough government agent on the trail of robbers is probably the best reason to watch the film. It's not outstanding but he does hold the film together. See more 10/27/2010 Slow paced Western looks more like television than a cinema release. Wells Fargo undercover special agent in the West comes to town to reveal unsuspected criminal gang leader. The town slowly comes round to ridding themselves of outlaws. Stars mild mannered Joel McCrea, veteran screen actor in several dozen lesser known films to me. Actually, the entire cast is unknown to me (but that may not be saying much). Black and white. Fairly routine Western, people may recognize the saloon owner who went on to play a farmer neighbor in tv's Green Acres of sixties sitcom fame. The unusual use of a company special agent by a community to assist the sheriff may have forshadowed the popular TV western The Wild, Wild West with Treasury Agent Jim West. Not sure of that however. The title: Gunsight Ridge, comes from the chase scene at the end where some difficult terrain called Gunsight Ridge is supposed to slow a rider down. A curious reference. The showdown between agent McCrea and Mark Steven (gambler) evolves. For Western fans and maybe no one else.
