Shotgun is a total waste of a movie. Yvonne DeCarlo ( Ann) is beautiful, but her haircut and outfit made her look like nothing special. To make matters worse, she is supposed to be an entertainer: Trust me that unlike most of her movies, her looks will not entice a guy to want to see her: She also had no chemistry with Star Sterling Hayden. Speaking of Hayden, he does not belong in westerns. Why? He plays the same type of character in every movie showing the same amount of emotion as Mr. Spock. The best thing about the movie is the scenery. That is excellent. One more point: The story was co-written by actor Rory Calhoun. Calhoun who was good ( but not great) in westerns should have cast himself, because that would have improved the movie. Oh by the way, Calhoun starred with DeCarlo in Raw Edge in 1956, one year earlier then this movie, and they made up for it because Raw Edge is a great western ( and offered up perhaps Calhoun's best performance). Again 3 stars. All for the scenery.
