The real
holdup appears to be contract length: The Red Sox don't want to go past five, and Martinez, the top hitter on the market who was on par offensively with Giancarlo Stanton in 2017, is looking for more than that.
Written by Irving Wallace and Roy Huggins, based on the novel Ten Against Caesar, Gun Fury has a fairly standard revenge plot, originating from a stagecoach
holdup in which Frank Slayton (Philip Carey) and his temporarily committed cohort Jess Burgess (Leo Gordon, who had
appeared in Hondo) not only make off with the loot, but eventually abduct Jennifer Ballard (Donna Reed), soon to be wed to promptly resentful Ben Warren (Rock Hudson).
