I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Too much of everything

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Audie Murphy, the ex-WWII hero, also the most decorated hero of that same global war, deviates from the norm in this Universal-International western; he is usually a tough straight guy, but here he is a mean, cold, feared bounty hunter, despite the fact that he is his boyish-looking self. The Old West town, Lordsburg, though rough-looking has appeal because of the color of the movie. As for the story, just the title would loosely indicate that it is a mystery, since everybody in this small town wants to know who the victim is that this paid killer John Gant (Murphy)is there to kill. As in most of Murphy's westerns, the action is tense all the way from beginning to end. Warren Stevens, Karl Swenson, and Whit Bissell are very dramatic in their roles as not-so-innocent men. Charles Wells (there mainly for decorative purposes) is rather comical as the hotel clerk. Willie Bouchey fit well into the role as the aging sheriff. Joan Evans was a very lovely lady who was surprisingly brave. Charles Drake (Murphy's friend offstage) acts well the part of the local physician who is probably the bravest and finest citizen of Lordsburg. Again, the action is tense, practically all the way through,and the climax is very surprising. Though this is,again, an anomaly from the decent-charactered person Murphy portrays, the versatile actor plays his part well. An underrated-yet-great western.

"Part of Murphy's appeal to many people was that he didn't fit the "image" most had of a war hero. He was a slight, almost fragile-looking, shy and soft-spoken young man".(IMDb biography)It works wonders on "no name on the bullet" in which Murphy "underplays" and succeeds in being threatening ,disturbing,without the usual tricks.Anyway "no name on the bullet" is an offbeat western ,looking sometimes more like a thriller with a dash of Agatha Christie thrown in:we know "who'll do it" but we do not know who will be slain .And many people in town have an uneasy conscience .The killer tells the doctor his victims have all done something wrong (like in "ten little Indians";people who have read that book will realize that the ending -when you learn who the victim was- has something of Christie's detective story).Suspenseful from start to finish ,the "hero" epitomizing "immanent justice ,in an almost abstract way,which the last pictures (which break with old Hollywood traditions)reinforce ..At a running time of about 75 min it's another Arnold's tour De force ,almost in the same league as his classic "the incredible shrinking man".

This mature, psychological Western was the first feature film director Jack Arnold made after that exceptional run of Sci-Fi movies (made during the genre's heyday of the 1950s) for which he is deservedly best-known. Diminutive real-life war hero Audie Murphy atypically stars as a black-clad notorious hired killer whose appearance in a sleepy Western hamlet instills fear in several of its supposedly respectable citizens who each believe that their own past has come back to haunt them. Murphy lazes about town, quietly downing mug after mug of coffee in the saloon and indulging in the occasional game of chess with friendly town doctor-veterinarian Charles Drake. He never lets on whom he has come for (which is a given to everyone but Drake) but lets the increasingly paranoid townspeople unravel in front of him and, in some cases, settle their age-old disputes among themselves. The final revelation that he had actually been hired to eliminate the least likely candidate (i.e. the most respectable and most harmless citizen – an old wheelchair-bound Judge) and that the latter, unbeknownst to Murphy, only has six months to live anyhow, packs a real ironical wallop. Interestingly, Murphy had so far been able to get away with 23 killings because he always managed to coerce his victims into drawing their guns on him first; in this case, he contrives to molest the Judge's daughter in his hotel room and tell him about it afterwards! The cast also includes R. G. Armstrong (as Drake's blacksmith father), Whit Bissell (as a corrupt banker), Warren Stevens (who gets all liquored up to face Murphy but nothing comes of their meeting), Virginia Grey (as Stevens' contemptuous lover), Jerry Paris (as the Sheriff's reluctant deputy) and Karl Swenson (as Bissell's tough business partner). A terse, offbeat Western that concludes in a unique confrontation between Murphy and Drake (who happens to be engaged to the Judge's daughter) where the former is disarmed and disabled by a gavel thrown at his right arm; incidentally, this unusual object had featured prominently in a scene at the beginning of the movie – at which point, my father (who was watching the film with me) proceeded to reveal the ending he recalled from an almost 50-year old theatrical screening!

Audie Murphy had finally gotten a role where he could show his dark side. Picking up bits from Dan Duryea and Barry Sullivan's affable bad guys in previous films he had made with them, his John Gant is a smooth professional killer, an arbiter of fate, who in this film at least,seems to kill only those who truly deserve it. Cat calm and just as ruthless,he's afar cry from the baby face "Man gotta do what a man got to do" types he played in other Universal westerns. His real life prowess as the Hero lessened the suspense of those films, in this it brings a much needed tension; who can stop him? If he had played the good doctor and Charles Drake was the gunslinger everyone would know the resolution before the fadeout. Here, in a dark reversal of "Shane"'s ending, the fast gun rides out of the picture,his job completed,the hypocrisy and failings of the "good people" exposed,and the frontier is a little more civilized. This film,along with "The Red Badge of Courage,and the original "The Unforgiven" are the roles that showed that Mr. Murphy could've been a contender as an actual actor.
