Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - James Garner --- another rewarding movie
Unlike some of his movies, in this role as an Indian Scout you see a different multi-culture side of him.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - On the vengeance trail - a darker, meaner James Garner
James Garner's easy-going charm made him a bankable star for most of his career. But, every so often, he didn't mind stepping out of his comfort zone to try different, more hard-bitten roles. Case in point: DUEL AT DIABLO, a near classic western drama which not only showcased a more intense James Garner but also the great Sidney Poitier. DUEL AT DIABLO was made in 1966 and it's not your typical western. This one eschews the black and white good guy/bad guy sensibilities often reflected in this film ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - pretty good movie, really enjoyable
this is a hidden gem of a western. i wasn't expecting very much from this movie. it just seemed to be another of a long line of movies. i was simply expect another ho-hum movie. garner and pottier provide very good performances that shocked me out of my expectations. the movie is good, the story is grippng, and the characters very real. the action is not too contrived, but very real. its quick, and not slow at all.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Movielover.dolly
This is one of my all-time favorite Westerns.

After the pablum served up in the 40's and 50's, this is one of the first movies to portray the relationship between the American Indian and the white man in a realistic light. There were no clear cut "good guys" and "bad guys", all had faults, all had prejudices toward ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - This one is a keeper.
This is one of my all time favorite westerns. Both James Garner and Sydney Portier look great in this film, Portier as the smooth well dressed gambler and Garner as the rugged scout. I saw this made for tv movie as a kid and remember it as being pretty intense with a great sound track, story and action! I also liked how it depicted the indians.
