A studio pressbook for this western the story and screenplay attributed to "John T. Williams." In fact the actual screenwriter was Bernard Gordon 1918-2007 and Williams a front. Gordon was subpoenaed by the HUAC but did not appear; instead he was named by a friendly witness fired from his studio job and blacklisted. From 1954 until 1962 his work including EARTH VS. THE FLYING SAUCERS DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS etc was undertaken via a front most often as "Raymond T. Marcus." Prior to his death the University of Texas Press published two of his accounts of life under the Black List. The prolific and often bombastic William Castle directed this "true story of the fastest gun of them all ." NB: in re: the associated image - the pressbook itself is not cropped - it slightly exceeded the bed size of the scanner. Columbia Pictures Corp. unknown books
