Man of the West (1958)

Gary Cooper's a reformed outlaw trusted with hiring a school teacher for his town. But when the train he's on gets held up, he finds himself left behind with a saloon singer and small-time opportunist in tow. Since the closest place he can think of to get help happens to be a hideout for his old gang, he heads there.

It's a tense little western -- a bit more seamy than usual and more believable for it.
