Then money is recovered and the case is closed.The movie moves at a good pace with some action. There is little gun fighting, however it is well placed and with defined purpose. The story is easy to follow and makes a good family movie.

An interesting story and a great cast. Very different DeForest Kelley, but he was great. As always Audie Murphy did not disappoint.

Good movie for anyone who likes westerns

"Gun Fight at Comanche Creek" is one of two of Audie Murphy's BEST Westerns, the other being, Arizona Raiders. While the movie, itself, is well worth the money...my disc was flawed, i.e. the movie stopped, skipped, etc...which happens sometimes with the remastered videos...not the seller's fault, but Warner Home Video's. So, highly recommend the movie to anyone interested in good westerns, just disappointed in the quality of the particular disc I received.

Audie at one of his best.... but then, I have only found one or two that weren't his best. I've watched Audie's movies since I was a kid in the 50s... I've never grown tired of them. Now I try to just find one I can afford to own... this can be a difficult move. I've seen internet offers of over $130.00 for just ONE DVD!!!So, I won't go into details here about this particular flick. It is the usual... good-guy/bad guy... guess who wins and gets the girl, cowboy movie.Audie just is Audie and he does it best; in his own way...kinda like the gentle, soft-spoken little brother of the Duke.This DVD is worth the price and the memories............

Have to be a fan!

Very good Movie for the whole family!!

I'll admit it, i'm a new star trek fan and i bought this to see DeForest Kelley as one of the outlaws. Kelley did not disappoint. His acting is different here than it is on Star Trek and you see how good of an actor the man really was.While i bought the movie for DeForest I was really impressed with Audie Murphy and I understand why he is so loved in the Western industry. I'll definitely check out some of his other movies.

Nothing to Dislike, Good Classic Western.

Audie Murphy fans will enjoy this western with a good solid story throughout, with Ben Cooper and DeForest Kelly

have bought many dvd movies and so far all of them have been excellent

One of the weakest of Murphy's many fine westerns. Even a veteran western cast cannot make up for the pedestrian plot and direction. An annoying narration in the flat, emotionless style common to B-movie police dramas in the 50s drones on and on, unnecessarily filling in gaps in the action.

Always been a fan of Audie Murphy Western movies since a little girl. So now I got this movie in my collection. We loved the old way western movies were done but not everyone would as some if them doesn't look realistic but I don't care still like those old western movies and this one is one of it
