Critic Reviews for The Stranger Wore a Gun

All Critics (2)

Though the visuals in this 3-D film have depth, the story itself remains shallow and clichéd.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews

The plot is a little convoluted, but Scott is an engaging hero, even when he's playing a bastard.

Audience Reviews for The Stranger Wore a Gun

½

Pedestrian western was originally released in 3-D but that is lost on the small screen. What's left is a customarily good performance by Claire Trevor and a decent supporting cast including Lee Marvin and Ernest Borgnine.
