Pecks Gunfighter a Western Leader of Tense Quiet
The reviewer discusses Gregory Peck in The Gunfighter noting a daring fresh western story with Peck as a weary 35 year old gunslinger who has not seen his son in eight years. The film follows Peck deterring a young hothead Eddie and facing brothers seeking revenge while Peck seeks his wife and calm amid limited gunplay.

A mixed review praises The Gunfighter for its craft but laments its lack of gunplay, while extolling The Horse's Mouth as easily the most enjoyable novel, focusing on a 67 year old painter and a cast of vivid characters. The New York Times calls it the richest comic novel of the last decade, with lavish language and strong character work.
