The Gunfighter (1950)

"Notorious gunfighter Jimmy Ringo rides into town to find his true love, who doesn't want to see him. He hasn't come looking for trouble, but trouble finds him around every corner."

An overlooked gem, The Gunfighter is a mature western starring Gregory Peck as a man who wants to get away from his past, but his reputation gives him trouble. Completely shot in "black and white", it's a minimalist approach and a good character study, with a "slow-moving" tension. This is the one you don't want to miss.
