Oct. 14, 1964 - Opening today is “Invitation to a Gunfighter,” a DeLuxe color Western film directed by Richard Wilson, starring Yul Brynner and George Segal. It is based on a 1957 teleplay by Larry Klein that appeared on CBS-TV’s “Playhouse 90.”
A lone Creole gunfighter, Jules (Brynner), burdened by his past of dealing with racism and prejudice, ends up in a town dealing with its own racism and hypocrisy. Jules attempts to learn the truth about the town’s real motives for hiring him as he attempts to force the town’s white folks to accept their own shortcomings in living with their Mexican cohabitants.
