Hi
I was going to mention The Flame and the Arrow and the Crimson Pirate but others got in first. The Devils Disciple was a very clever film written by George Bernard Shaw.
One of the bits I particularly like is when Gentleman Johhny Bourgoyne (Olivier) tries to convince Kirk Douglas that he is actually doing him a favour by hanging him rather than executing him by firing squad aguing that with the standard of marksmanship in the British Army most of the shots would either miss or seriously wound him, whereas the hangmans rope would be quick and most effective.
As for Burt Lancaster I think his Wyatt Earp in Gunfight At The OK Corral was excellent.
Regards
Arthur
