A Face of a Fugitive is an adult western with an emphasis on character ( in the vein of Saddle the Wind, Warlock and Man of the West) and it's an engaging watch. Not much action, however, the plot and intelligent dialogue pulls you in. There's a severe somber tone, but if you're in an austere mood, then this slow moving Paul Wendkos directed film is up your street. But what really make this film work is Fred MacMurray, his acting is superb and his dialogue is quite philosophical. And what a nail biting, inventive showdown finale in a dilapidated ghost town.
