Any Western boasting the likes of Randolph Scott, Ernest Borgnine, and Lee Marvin should be an all-time mammoth, but Stranger Wore A Gun proves that his films with Budd Boetticher were far good to most of his films, and makes you wonder what Scott’s Boetticher films would have been like if he’d had such immense co-stars as he did in this film.

Scott plays a used Confederate peer who joins with an stale war colleague to stage a gold robbery in Arizona. Scott changes his mind, and tries to conclude the robbery. George Macready, playing the terrible guy, is his usual unsuitable self, and Marvin and Borgnine are solid as usual as two of Macready’s gang.
One of the problems with this film is that it was filmed for 3D, which is nefarious and distracting, as objects and people point toward the cloak for an accomplish which is no longer viable. The dialogue is also not as cleverly pointed as it was in Scott’s better films.
