A handsome stranger comes to Comanche Creek. He's quick on the draw, fast with his fists, flush with $20 gold notes-- and he soon gets himself thrown in the local jail. Everything is going according to plan Audie Murphy, World War II's most-decorated GI, portrays an Old West detective who purposely lands behind bars so he can infiltrate a secret gang with a vicious MO: spring prisoners from their cells, force them to be front men for notorious crimes, then kill them to collect the reward money for their dead-or-alive capture. De Forest Kelley, in one of his many Westerns before he became Dr. McCoy in the original Star Trek, plays an outlaw leader. He'll be dishing out lead in the gunfight finale that gives the film its title.

The story is easy to follow and makes a good family movie.

Aw, Audie..why'd ya have to go?
Audie at one of his best.... but then, I have only found one or two that weren't his best. I've watched Audie's movies since I was a kid in the 50s... I've never grown tired of them. Now I try to just find one I can afford to own... this can be a difficult move. I've seen internet offers of over $130.00 for just ONE DVD!!!So, I won't go into details here about this particular flick. It is the usual... good-guy/bad guy... guess who wins and gets the girl, cowboy movie.Audie just is Audie and he does it best; in his own way...kinda like the gentle, soft-spoken little brother of the Duke.This DVD is worth the price and the memories............

A Great Audie Murphy Western Movie
"Gun Fight at Comanche Creek" is one of two of Audie Murphy's BEST Westerns, the other being, Arizona Raiders. While the movie, itself, is well worth the money...my disc was flawed, i.e. the movie stopped, skipped, etc...which happens sometimes with the remastered videos...not the seller's fault, but Warner Home Video's. So, highly recommend the movie to anyone interested in good westerns, just disappointed in the quality of the particular disc I received.

Bought it to see DeForest, enjoyed the rest of the cast
I'll admit it, i'm a new star trek fan and i bought this to see DeForest Kelley as one of the outlaws. Kelley did not disappoint. His acting is different here than it is on Star Trek and you see how good of an actor the man really was.While i bought the movie for DeForest I was really impressed with Audie Murphy and I understand why he is so loved in the Western industry. I'll definitely check out some of his other movies.
