Decision at Sundown
Capsule by Dave Kehr
From the Chicago Reader

This, the third of Budd Boetticher's remarkable Randolph Scott westerns (1957, 77 min.), finds Scott as a man obsessed with revenging the suicide of his wife on her former lover. Boetticher's westerns seem to exist apart from history; they are highly stylized, almost abstract moral studies, compressed and analytical. Unique in the genre, they are essential viewing.
