Curiously this Last Train From Gun Hill , was eclipsed in the same year 1959, the Rio Bravo of Howard Hawks . Both films are currently connected to the same theme of the "besieged fortress" are very different in their narrative. The last train is based primarily on the confrontation between Kirk Douglas and Anthony Quinn , two friends who will compete, while in Rio, the villain, Claude Atkins , not the size its role, the film relies mainly on relations between the sheriff and his deputies. I would note also, formally, The last train is more accomplished than Rio Bravo . John Sturges has taken care in the sets, chromatically beautiful, so that Hawks did not give his film instead of a particular aesthetic. You'll understand that I prefer the western de Sturges than Hawks, but strangely, it is rather the second, which marked the spirits!
