Whenever it becomes known how good he is with guns, ex-gunman George and his wife Dora have to flee the town, in fear of all the gunmen who might want to challenge him. Unfortunately he again spills his secret when he's drunk. All citizens swear to keep his secret and support him to give up his guns forever -- but a boy tells the story to a gang of wanted criminals. Their leader threatens to burn down the whole town, if he doesn't duel him.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A taut psychological western that trades gunfights for the weight of a man's past threatening to destroy the peace he's built. The real showdown is between George's desire for a quiet life and the inexorable pull of who he was.
