Synopsis
Decision at Sundown (1957) is a Budd Boetticher western you can watch online on iFILM. Bart Allison, played by Randolph Scott, rides into the town of Sundown with a single purpose: to kill Tate Kimbrough, the man he holds responsible for his wife's death.
Kimbrough owns the town — the sheriff, the silence, the saloon. What makes this entry in Boetticher's seven-film Ranown Cycle with Scott quietly unsettling is the slow unraveling of Allison's certainty: the man he came to shoot may not be quite the villain the story demands. John Carroll plays Kimbrough with enough complexity to make that ambiguity stick. Shot in 78 minutes with no wasted frames, it's lean revisionist filmmaking years before the label existed.
