Felix C Most People, don't always know what a really good movie is, except what they like, and of course you're entitled to your opinion or choice, but that don't change truth or fact, and in this case... More Dead Than Alive...is really a Wonderful Western, violent for it's so-called time, but a good story, somewhat sad in a way, but... Clint Walker...was strong, resolute in his life choices, even to the end, interesting and real good Entertainment... Yeah ! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/21/24 Full Review Audience Member Excellent western was a good ending. Yes I will highly recommend it James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas, September 26, 2023. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/26/23 Full Review Purvi Shah M TestCommentby RTQA to verify if the review posts Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/25/23 Full Review Michael K Good Clint Walker role with a bonus Vincent Price role, as something other than Vincent's normal horror roles. Not much of a shoot-em-up movie, but had a good secondary love story line. It is because of this love story side, that I have to say the writers made a terrible mistake when Clint dies at the end. this was poor writing, could have had the same stand off, just let him live after being shot. Just terrible mistake by the writers!!! My suggestion, quit watching when the word "....Fall" comes on the screen, will ruin the whole movie for you if you don't!!!! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/25/23 Full Review Audience Member A good western from the sixties with the great Clint Walker as a ex-convicted trying to reconstruct his life out of the crime. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting western had potential if it hadn't been so ham fisted. Clint Walker, who I always thought would have been the perfect Punisher, plays and infamous gunman released from prison and tries to go straight, leaving his reputation as "Killer Cain" behind him. In the 18 years in prison, the west has civilized some and he grudgingly joins an old west shooting show as the feature act, much to the chagrin of the show's previous star, a young hothead quick draw artist who romanticizes the old code of the gunfighter, men calling each other out and romanticizing killing in general. The film is thematically similar to Clint Eastwood's "Unforgiven" in regards to trying to unromanticize gunmen and killing, having an infamous gunman teaching a young kid that killing wasn't as honorable, brave or as justified as people thought it was. However, while thematically interesting, the film covers the themes in such a hammy way with Clint Walker trying to teach the young hot head that killing isn't an easy thing and more often than not involved shooting a man in the back. The film gets even weaker when the love of a good woman, Anne Francis, helps Walker find his way. But in the plus column, Vincent Price plays the shooting show owner and barker, and is as wonderful as always. With smarter writing, this could have been a strong revisionist western, but instead it's more of a middling western that's rather corny, though still worth watching.
