Editorial Review:

Description:
'An exciting, absorbing drama' (The Hollywood Reporter) that 'never lets up in action' (The Film Daily), Duel at Diablo stars James Garner, Sidney Poitier, Bill Travers, Bibi Andersson and Dennis Weaver in a tale that 'will grip you' (The New York Times) from beginning to end! Frontier scout Jess Remsberg (Garner) bravely leads a wagon train through hostile territory to Fort Conchos. But underneath his valor, he has an ulterior motive: to settle a score with a man whom he believes killed his wife. When he arrives at the fort, Jess not only learns the shocking truth about the killer, but also that the wagon train has come under Apache attack... leaving Jess their only hope for survival.

- 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.

- 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 genre. Instead, DUEL AT DIABLO unfurls themes colored more in shades of grey and not so easily resolved. This is far removed from the lighthearted likes of Support Your Local Sheriff or MAVERICK.

Always gritty and, at times, bleak and brooding, DUEL AT DIABLO is peopled with complex, no-nonsense types. As the film rolls along, don't be too surprised if you find your opinions shifting with regards to these ... Read More

- 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.

This is one of my all-time favorite Westerns. Although I have never thought of James Garner as one of the best actors out there, this movie seems to bring out the best in him, as far as Sidney Portier is concerned, he is always great. 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 the other that led to hatred. The punishment netted out to Dennis Weaver (another excellent performance)seems cruel, but, when balanced against what he did in retaliation against his wife's kidnapping by the Apaches, may seem to be expected, if not deserved.

All and all a must see for any Western movie fan, whatever your opinion it is a movie that you will remember.
