André De Toth directed seven of producer-star Randolph Scott's Westerns; The Stranger Wore a Gun is the most disappointing, especially since its original 3-D is now moot. That gimmicky process obliged the one-eyed director to concentrate on framing every shot with foreground clutter (and matte eerily mobile 'rocks' onto the chase scenes), as well as dream up reasons for people to shove torches and hurl water pitchers at the camera. Scott's trajectory takes him from Confederate officer in league with Quantrill's Raiders to riverboat gambler to undercover detective. On the upside, Claire Trevor is always welcome as a Western leading lady, and George Macready as chief villain. Macready's henchmen are the prestellar Lee Marvin--who grossed out '50s audiences with his 3-D spitting of tobacco juice while lolling in a chair--and Ernest Borgnine, who gets into a laughing duel with Alfonso Bedoya over which one is really 'The Face That Kills.' --Richard T. Jameson

Rating: - RANDY RIDES AGAIN!
Read random reviews of this movie and many will have some unfavorable things to say, however, if you, like me are a fan of Randolph Scott, this movie will more than satisfy.
When the movie was made no one knew Ernest Borgnine or Lee Marvin would ever reach the level of fame they came to, they were just hired to be the black hat, bad guys. And they both earned their pay for their respective performances.
And any western having Claire Trevor in a lead role is ... Read More
Rating:  - A Pleasant Scott Western That Could Have Been More
Any Western boasting the likes of Randolph Scott, Ernest Borgnine, and Lee Marvin should be an all-time great, but Stranger Wore A Gun proves that his films with Budd Boetticher were far superior to most of his films, and makes you wonder what Scott's Boetticher films would have been like if he'd had such great co-stars as he did in this film.
Scott plays a former Confederate spy who joins with an old war colleague to stage a gold robbery in Arizona. Scott changes his mind, and tries ... Read More
Rating: - A Classic Western Starring Randolph Scott!!
