Gunfighters is a 1947 American Western Cinecolor film
directed by George Waggner and starring Randolph Scott, Barbara Britton, and
Bruce Cabot. Based on the novel Twin Sombreros by Zane Grey (the sequel of
Knights of the Range) and with a screenplay by The Searchers author Alan Le
May, the film is about a gunfighter who lays down his guns after being forced
to shoot his best friend, and decides to become a cowhand on a ranch. The film
was released in the United Kingdom as The Assassin.
Storyline The Assassin | Gunfighters 1947
Trying to put his life as a gunfighter behind him, Brazos
Kane (Randolph Scott) goes off to join old pal Bob Tyrell at the Inskip ranch,
only to see him gunned down by an unseen shooter.
Brazos takes the body to the Banner ranch, but the ruthless
Banner (Griff Barnett) has him arrested for the murder by Yount (Grant
Withers), a corrupt deputy. Brazos has the bullet that killed his friend and
slips it to Jane Banner (Dorothy Hart), the rancher's daughter.
Inskip (Charley Grapewin) frees him before Brazos can be
unjustly tried and hanged. Brazos makes the mistake of trusting Bess (Barbara
Britton), sister of Jane, but she is in love with ranch foreman Bard Macky
(Bruce Cabot), the man who killed Tyrell.
Brazos refuses to strap on his guns, but Yount (Grant
Withers) and hired gun Orcutt (Forrest Tucker) try to ambush him or run him
off. Inskip is murdered in cold blood and so is young cowhand Johnny O'Neil
(John Miles), the last straw. Brazos arms himself and goes after the bad guys,
wounding Yount several times to make him talk, then calling out Orcutt and Bard
for a final showdown, with Jane's help.
