When I first read the premise of this movie, I thought this one could really be interesting. It was to a certain degree, but somehow it did not really click with me. The actors did a fine job, especially the priest.
This time, the dumb character moment comes from the love interest: How could she not see from the beginning, that her story will not really give an alibi to the priest, but only give him a motive in the first place?

No Name On The Bullet, a review by Rogmeister

No Name On The Bullet  (1959)  77m
Directed by Jack Arnold
Cast: Audie Murphy, Joan Evans, Charles Drake, R.G. Armstrong, Warren Stevens, Whit Bissell, Edgar Stelhi

Gunman John Gant arrives in town and this sets the townsfolk to thinking.  Gant usually comes into a town and is there to kill a man he has been paid to.  As time goes on, fear starts to set in as no one knows exactly who it is that Gant is after driving several to desperate acts including suicide and drinking whiskey to try to build up the courage to take him on.  Audie Murphy stars as Gant in a fine deliberate performance aided by a first-rate supporting cast.  It doesn't have tons of action but this is still one of Audie Murphy's better westerns.  The DVD has no extras apart from the theatrical trailer.

I don't really remember how I came to the attention to Tenacious D (Jack Black and Kyle Gass).
But I have listened to their first album a lot and I still think it's great. I bought this DVD because of the concert, but this little HBO series is a nice little extra. It contains a lot of the music their album.
