When Jim meets Della and Case at the end of the shootout, a man in contemporary, non-western clothing is reflected in the storefront window as he walks by.
- PLOTDuring the big shootout, Case leaves Jim in his office.
At the end, Case and Della wind up on the same side of the street as the office, but Jim comes running over to them from the opposite side of the street.
"Guns, Girls, and Gangsters" director Edward L. Cahn's predictable but entertaining oater "Noose for a Gunman" is a solid enough horse opera with a seasoned cast who have slapped leather many times.
When the film begins, Case Britton (Jim Davis) enters a town that clearly doesn't want him. In fact, there's a noose with his name on it!
In 1955 'Top Gun', a black and white B western starring Sterling Hayden was relleased. This is practically the same - same story and in parts even the same dialogue.
Here's an above-average B Western with good acting, intelligent plot & characters. Nothing special plot-wise, just a solid B western that's not stupid.
Jim Davis turns in a good performance here as a former bad-guy who returns to the scene of the crime, this time to warn others of impending danger. Many of the townsfolk shun his efforts, but the town's wise lawman believes him.
Having years of being a supporting player as a good and bad guy in various westerns, here, Jim Davis is the lead playing someone in the middle as Case Britton, who left town after shooting a couple of men for gunning down his marshal brother and is now back to warn the current marshal about a robber named Jack Cantrell (Ted de Corsia) awaiting a stagecoach to pilfer. His reasons, however, are personal as there's a woman named Della Haines (Lyn Thomas), who he plans to marry, inside.
