Review :
Fun Low-Budget Western
A former gunfighter who went to prison but then took up religion arrives in a western town as the new preacher. There he finds a feud between the ranchers and the farmers. The railroad agent is after the ranchers land and has his men causing all the trouble. The new preacher sets out to bring the two sides together and he says he will not need a gun.
According to Jan Merlin, who played the villain, shooting took only "seven or ten days." Although the film featured some successful character actors like Hugh Sanders in supporting roles, none of the performers qualified as marquee names; in fact, at this point in his career, star James Mitchell was known only as a dancer. Makelim tried to compensate for these problems by marketing the film to a religious audience - the local clergymen were invited to the film's premiere in Wichita. The Peacemaker enjoyed only sporadic distribution and was not widely reviewed.
Successful or not, this is the film that launched director Ted Post's career, and he went on to make some better-known westerns ("Hang 'em High"), the Clint Eastwood masterpiece "Magnum Force" and at least one notable Chuck Norris film. If Post is to be celebrated, this film deserves another look.
