A little western

The Duel at Silver Creek is a simple, unexceptional film which nevertheless has three interesting features: it is one of director Don Siegel's earliest works, one of Lee Marvin's first roles outside TV, and it stars Audie Murphy, the most decorated American combat soldier of World War II. At less than 80 minutes the movie feels like an episode of some old TV series. A light snack that won't trouble my mind when I go to sleep.
