Gregory Peck stars in The Gunfighter as Jimmy Ringo, the “fastest gun in the west” who wants to put his past behind him yet faces those who want his title at every turn. (84 mins., 35mm)

Cecil B. Demille was more concerned with spectacle than authenticity when creating The Plainsman, one of the few big budget westerns of the mid-1930s. The film stars Gary Cooper as Wild Bill Hickock and Jean Arthur as Calamity Jane (!) out to quell an Indian uprising started by white gun runners. (113 mins., 35mm)
