Popular Country and western singer Marty Robbins straps on his six-guns for this campy cult western classic, "Ballad Of A Gunfighter". It is interesting to note that Marty Robbins plays Marty Robbins, a former confederate soldier who has now become a lone gunman who robs stagecoaches so that he can give the money to the poor people of a local town. It is not long before Marty runs into a gang of crooks who don't have the same good intentions as he does. This film is unique among westerns and its ending is certainly unlike any other. Marty's conflict over money and a woman with the leader of a gang of ruthless robbers leads to a final showdown in the town of "El Paso". The finale is beautifully photographed and the story unfolds without a word spoken to the sound of Marty singing his famous ballad. A rarity among westerns and certainly well worth a look at if you're a die-hard western fan or a Marty Robbins admirer.
