Interesting facts

Gunpoint is a 1966 American Western film directed by Earl Bellamy and starring Audie Murphy. It was Murphy's final film for Universal Pictures.

Production

The film was the last of seven Westerns Audie Murphy made with producer Gordon Kay, starting with Hell Bent for Leather (1960). Parts of the film were shot at Kanab Canyon in Utah. Scenes from earlier Universal films starring Murphy, including Kansas Raiders, The Cimarron Kid, Ride Clear of Diablo, Night Passage, Gunsmoke and Sierra, were re-used in this film.

When Hedda Hopper asked him what the story was about, he told her, "Same story only we're getting older horses". Leading lady Joan Staley suffered a horse riding accident during production which limited her subsequent career. After making the movie, Murphy went to work in Europe for a number of years.
