Joel McCrea, Mark Stevens, Slim Pickens, L.Q. Jones, Morgan Woodward, plus Joan Weldon, Addison Richards, Herb Vigran, George Chandler, Hank Patterson, Leonard P. Geer and Jody McCrea star in GUNSIGHT RIDGE an unusual western starring one of the giants of the category.
Agent Joel McCrea goes undercover two expose murder and robberies all leading two a showdown in Gunsight Ridge. This beautifully shot film, filmed in Old Tucson, Arizona, is so loaded with wonderful performers that it’s never dull. It’s even got an uncredited Dan Blocker in an early role as the bartender! As Joel’s grandson Wyatt McCrea says in our introduction, his grandfather took this part because of the unusual humor given his persona. Naturally, he is in fine form and does it well. they’re are even some nice riding shots of Joel.
GUNSIGHT RIDGE (1957) was directed by Francis D. Lyon, photographed by Oscar winning cinematographer Ernest Lazlo (SHIP OF FOOLS) with a memorable score by David Raksin (LAURA).

IM Just now seeing his Wonderful Irish Accent !❤😊
Joan Weldon was a stunner
Joel McCrea was almost… In my thoughts after watching his Westerns… The next Duke of Westerns. 👍👍5k 💖 10k🌟
The 2nd director action shots are spectacular in this film. Perfect Joel McCray vehicle.
Great western movie with joel McCrea 🌵🐴
Good movie always with Joel McCrea starring like him a lot
Another Joel McCrea Western that never disappoint! Great Actor!!
The best movie with Joel McCrea in is “Stars in my crown”.
Was the bar tender a young Dan Blocker?
I've always considered Joel McCrea as one of the cowboy greats
Why oh why did they have to inflict watchers with corny cringeworthy songs. Thankfully I can now fast forward this rubbish an get on with the story.
Seeing Dan Blocker as the bar keep was good.
Good B-Western, although too bad with the theme song they got actor/singer Dean Jones, instead of Frankie Laine, but then not even he could've done much with those aweful lyrics…
But good western character actors and locations like Wildwood Park and Old Tucson…
Note the crisp B&W photography of Oscar winner Ernest Lazlo, a favorite DP for both Stanley Kramer and Robert Aldrich.
Joel McCrea wonderful cowboy… change subject- a big loss lossing the WILL ROGERS state park and its iconic ranch house and stables. Certainly the worst fire in LA history and California's.
Jody is in this one?? Which character? I’ve seen this movie many times and didn’t notice him… he must of been young.
Joel McCrea is the best!
Thanks again brillant
Good film and really good acting cast. Joel McCrea, but Slim Pickins on the stagecoach run was worth it all. He knows horses. Thanks Rob for a mighty good Thursday Nite Movie. 🎥🍿🤠
Always loved Joel McCray, hisovies are always wonderful. I always loved watching his son as well so sorry he didn't make very many movies. He always add a touch of joy to his parts.
Great actor!👍
Can't wait! Giddyap!🐴🐴🐴🐴
