This is one of Gregory Peck's greatest roles and performances. Why isn't this movie better known?

Well, there was this movie I seen one time About a man riding 'cross the desert and it starred Gregory Peck He was shot down by a hungry kid trying to make a name for himself The townspeople wanted to crush that Kid down and string him up by the neck Well, the marshal, now he beat that kid to a bloody pulp As the dying gunfighter lay in the sun and gasped for his last breath Turn him loose, let him go, let him say he outdrew me fair and square
