Title: Bill Elliot at his best
Review: I believe "Showdown" is one of the ten best films ever made. This low budget masterpeice shows what can be accomplished when talent is substituted for money. The acting and the production values in this movie are superb. Out of the hundreds of movies I saw as a child this one has haunted my memory all of my life. It is one of a kind and totally unforgetable. This is a splendid film noir movie disquised as a cheap "B western that can be watched over and over again. The casting is the very best with Walter Brennen and Bill Elliot giving top performances. This film is very similar and in a class with "Casablanca" in many ways.
