Acting
Randolph Scott's understated stoicism — the man barely emotes and it's magnetic.
Production

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was actually a loose remake of a 1939 film also called 'Colt .45' — Hollywood was recycling before it was environmentally conscious.
The film's tagline and entire plot essentially functioned as a 74-minute advertisement for Colt firearms; Warner Bros had no shame and neither did audiences in 1950.
