Reviews:

“Well as far as I’m concerned that takes care of Tuesday’s election!”
The use of the singular in the title is misleading as there’s a gunfight every few minutes as Joel McCrea as Bat Masterson cleans up Dodge City.

Richard Anderson is cast against type as a gunfighter in black and Timothy Carey very much to type as the ugliest of the heavies (while an uncredited Kasey Rogers – fleetingly seen early on as a saloon gal named Molly – is unrecognisable without the glasses she wore as Guy’s cheating spouse under her former name of ‘Laura Elliot’ in ‘Strangers on a Train’).

Routine Western with Joel McCrae as Bat Masterson
After a career that stretched back to the silent era that included work with such directors as Alfred Hitchcock, George Stevens, and Preston Sturges, Joel McCrae turned almost exclusively to the western genre in the mid-1940’s. Near the end of McCrae’s prodigious output of modestly budgeted westerns, he played real life lawman, journalist, and gambler, Bat Masterson, in “The Gunfight at Dodge City.” While the story treads familiar territory, McCrae and the movie will likely please most fans of the star in particular and horse-operas in general. As Masterson, a weathered Joel McCrae becomes the town sheriff after his brother, the former sheriff, is killed. Nothing new here; a kindly town doctor played by John McIntire; a lovely widowed saloon keeper, Nancy Gates; a preacher and his prim uptight daughter, James Westerfield and Julie Adams; a friendly townsman and his mentally-challenged brother, Walter Coy and Wright King; and the requisite bad guys, Richard Anderson and Don Haggerty. Besides McCrae, only John McIntire makes much of an impression among the supporting cast.

Director Joseph M. Newman mixes the cliched elements into an entertaining 82 minutes; a few gunfights, a daring rescue, a touch of romance, an attempted rape, fistfights, and the requisite standby, a showdown on the dusty main street of an old western town. “The Gunfight at Dodge City” is no classic of the genre, but rather a routine western that offers all the elements for an afternoon’s entertainment, plus the opportunity to watch an iconic western star, Joel McCrae, at work doing what he loved and did exceptionally well.
