Man From God's Country (DVD)

"This is raw country gun country;" grumbles ornery freight magnate Beau Santee (Frank Wilcox). And sure enough; the irons start blazin' when lawman-on-the-lam Dan Beattie (George Montgomery) ambles into the sleepy town of Sundown. Beattie's looking for war buddy Curt Warren (House Peters; Jr.) -- but finds only a beaten; broken man who's terrified of big boss Beau. No stranger to danger; Beattie poses as a reviled railroad agent ("You might as well paint a target on your back;" the sheriff quips.) and dallies with Warren's dame to dig up the dirt on Santee. In no time; the two Civil War comrades are face to face on Main Street -- but Sundown's big showdown sparks an even bigger shootout. This taut; exciting Western shows that even God's Country has a dark side.
