Decision at Sundown was one of several felicitous collaborations between star Randolph Scott and director Budd Boetticher. Scott plays a flint-eyed gunman who rides into a sleepy town to drive out local tough guy John Carroll by sundown. Scott is motivated not by justice but by revenge; years earlier, Carroll had stolen Scott's wife. The woman subsequently killed herself, and the fact that she had left Scott willingly is torturing both men, each of whom feels partially responsible for her death.

Remarkable look at dictatorship, revolt and non-violence in a Western town.
It works well enough to get you riled up.
Solid Randolph Scott and Budd Boetticher revenge Western.
Nice low-budget western with a script that's good by B-western standards, but not quite as good as the ones Kennedy cooked up for director Budd Boetticher. This one has Randolph Scott as his usual character, seeking vengeance, but includes twist that his vengeance turns out to be, in reality, meaningless. Good
