“The major conflicts…are fundamental and raw, and a first-rate cast plays them to the limit under Edward Dmytryk’s practiced hand. Mr. Fonda, as usual, is excellent – melancholy, laconic and assured – and Mr. Widmark is properly nervous but full of sincerity, and spunk.”
– Bosley Crowther, The New York Times
“There are commendably tough and serious performances, and the unusually involved and thoughtful plot, which grips as it tries to make you think about mob role and justice, is brightly handled by director Dmytryk.”
– Derek Winnert, derekwinnert.com
Warlock (1959) is a remarkable adult Western directed by Edward Dmytryk, starring Henry Fonda as a murderous gunslinger hired to rid a frontier town of a gang of troublemakers. Meanwhile, a onetime black hat, played by Richard Widmark, takes on the more formal job of sheriff, and finds himself dealing with both the cowboy gang and the gunslinger. Anthony Quinn and Dorothy Malone co-star, backed by a villainous crew of superlative character actors. Shot by the great Joe MacDonald (My Darling Clementine), and featuring a score from Leigh Harline.
