Robert Taylor shares top billing with comparative newcomer Chad Everett in this good gunslinger vs. bad hombres opus. Ben Wyatt (Taylor) comes to the aid of Mexican girl Anisa (Ana Martin), whose parents have been killed by desperadoes. Of interest is the presence of Butch Cassidy (John Crawford) and the Sundance Kid (John Davis Chandler), a full two years before their cinematic canonization vis-à-vis Paul Newman and Robert Redford. Return of the Gunfighter was lensed for television, networkcast on ABC, then released theatrically abroad.
