Warlock is a 1959 film, released by Twentieth Century Fox and shot in DeLuxe Color and CinemaScope. It is a Western adapted from the novel by Oakley Hall (screenplay written by Robert Alan Aurthur). Directed by Edward Dmytryk, it stars Richard Widmark, Henry Fonda, and Anthony Quinn.
As in the earlier film Wichita, 1955, the conflict of the law with the outlaw runs parallel with the resentment of the town's own leadership. The supporting cast includes DeForest Kelley, who was a regular in Western films before becoming best known for Star Trek; Frank Gorshin, known for his role as the Riddler on the television series Batman; and Tom Drake, perhaps best known as John Truett, "The Boy Next Door", in Meet Me In St. Louis.
Synopsis
Warlock is a small Utah mining town of the early 1880s. Local cowboys working for Abe McQuown (Tom Drake) often come into town to shoot the place up, kill on just a whim, and beat up and humiliate any deputy sheriff who tries to stand up to them.Actors
