When the lawman remarks that Link looks familiar, he gives a false name, Henry Wright. </p><p>Aboard the train Sam joins Link, learns of his mission in Fort Worth and claims he can be of help. Sam introduces him to the Crosscut saloon singer, Billie Ellis (<a href="/wiki/Julie_London" title="Julie London">Julie London</a>), insisting she could make an ideal teacher. </p><p>Their conversation is overheard by Alcutt, a shady-looking passenger. When the train stops to pick up wood for additional fuel, male passengers help load it on to the train but Alcutt remains on board, feigning sleep. From a window he signals to three horsemen, Coaley Tobin (<a href="/wiki/Jack_Lord" title="Jack Lord">Jack Lord</a>), Trout (<a href="/wiki/Royal_Dano" title="Royal Dano">Royal Dano</a>) and Ponch (<a href="/wiki/Robert_J._Wilke" title="Robert J.

The train departs, with Alcutt riding off with Link's bag containing Good Hope's money. Alcutt is wounded as he and the three other robbers flee. </p><p>Link revives to discover that he, Sam and Billie have been left behind, many miles from the nearest town. Link leads them on foot to a ramshackle farm, admitting that he lived there years earlier. Link sends the others to wait in the barn, giving Billie his coat to wear. Link enters the rundown house and finds the train robbers hiding inside. </p><p>Coaley is suspicious of Link's claim that he simply wants to rest for the night. They are interrupted by ageing outlaw Dock Tobin (<a href="/wiki/Lee_J._Cobb" title="Lee J. Cobb">Lee J. Cobb</a>), who is startled to see Link, his nephew, whom he raised to be a killer and a thief. More than a dozen years earlier, in order to go straight, Link abandoned Tobin, and the old man laments that nothing has been the same since. He introduces Link to the others, including Link's cousin, Coaley. </p><p>Disturbed by the revelation of Link's true identity, Coaley demonstrates his toughness by <a href="/wiki/Coup_de_gr%C3%A2ce" title="Coup de grâce">shooting</a> Alcutt, who is near death from his wound. Realising the danger of his situation, Link brings Sam and Billie in from the barn and lies to Tobin, telling him that Billie is his woman and also that he purposely set out to find Dock after being left behind by the train. </p><p>Tobin reveals his long-held ambition to rob the bank in the town of Lassoo and asserts that Link's return to the gang makes that possible and will breathe new life into them all. To protect the lives of his companions Link agrees to participate in the holdup. After Link and Sam are sent outside to dig a grave and bury Alcutt, an increasingly drunken Coaley decides to force Billie to strip. Her cries alert Link and, when he returns to the cabin, Coaley holds a knife to his throat while continuing to demand Billie <a href="/wiki/Striptease" title="Striptease">remove her clothes</a>. </p><p>When she is nearly undressed, Tobin steps in and ends the situation. He tells everyone to go to sleep and sends Link and Billie to sleep in the barn. </p><p>Claude Tobin (<a href="/wiki/John_Dehner" title="John Dehner">John Dehner</a>), another cousin, arrives the next morning and is displeased at finding Link there. Tobin rejects the suggestion of Claude and Coaley that it would be best to kill Link and the others. They all depart on the four-day trip to Lassoo in three wagons and two on horseback. </p><p>When they make camp on the trail, Link seeks revenge for the brutal treatment of Billie at the ranch and goads the brutal Coaley into a fistfight. Link beats his cousin severely, then forcibly strips him of his clothes as revenge for forcing Billie to strip at the barn. Deeply humiliated, Coaley attempts to shoot the unarmed Link, but Sam interferes and is shot dead instead. Tobin then shoots Coaley dead for disobeying him. </p><p>During the trip Billie bemoans the fact that Link is a man worth loving but that she cannot have him. He says he has a wife and two children in Good Hope. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Gary_Cooper_in_Man_of_the_West_1958.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/17/Gary_Cooper_in_Man_of_the_West_1958.jpg/220px-Gary_Cooper_in_Man_of_the_West_1958.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="114" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/17/Gary_Cooper_in_Man_of_the_West_1958.jpg/330px-Gary_Cooper_in_Man_of_the_West_1958.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/17/Gary_Cooper_in_Man_of_the_West_1958.jpg/440px-Gary_Cooper_in_Man_of_the_West_1958.jpg 2x" data-file-width="780" data-file-height="404" /></a><figcaption>Gary Cooper</figcaption></figure> <p>With the town of Lassoo in sight, Link volunteers to go in and do the holdup job, secretly hoping that in town he can seek help.

It turns out that Lassoo is a <a href="/wiki/Ghost_town" title="Ghost town">ghost town</a>, its bank deserted except for a frightened Mexican woman named Juanita, who has the two at gunpoint when Trout coldly shoots her. Link uses the woman’s gun to kill Trout. He then awaits the arrival of Claude and Ponch. In a drawn-out gun battle, Link kills Ponch first, then eventually and with some regret – because as children the two of them had been fairly close – Claude. As Link leaves town, Juanita's husband is returning. "I'm sorry" is all Link can say to him. </p><p>Returning to camp, Link discovers to his horror that Billie has been raped and beaten. He goes in search of Tobin, who is on a cliff nearby. Link calls out to his uncle that he, like Lassoo, is a ghost and is finished, and Link is going to take him in. Tobin starts ranting and firing his gun, and Link finally shoots him and reclaims the bag of Good Hope's money. </p><p>Riding back to civilization, Billie tells Link she loves him but, knowing that he intends to return to his home and his family, she is resigned to the fact that she must resume her singing career and go on with life alone. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Man_of_the_West&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Gary_Cooper" title="Gary Cooper">Gary Cooper</a> as Link Jones</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Julie_London" title="Julie London">Julie London</a> as Billie Ellis</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Lee_J._Cobb" title="Lee J.

Yordan's novel had been adapted into a film called <i><a href="/wiki/Gun_Glory" title="Gun Glory">Gun Glory</a></i>, which starred <a href="/wiki/Stewart_Granger" title="Stewart Granger">Stewart Granger</a> in the lead role.

Supposedly, Stewart was extremely upset when Mann didn't give him the script for the film, felt betrayed, and had no interest in working with him ever again, although Mann thought that Stewart would be unfit for the role. Another probable reason why Mann didn't give Stewart the script was that Mann and Stewart had a falling out during the shooting of <i><a href="/wiki/Night_Passage_(film)" title="Night Passage (film)">Night Passage</a></i> (1957). While Mann and Stewart felt that the script of the film needed some rewrites, Mann wanted a darker edge for the main character of the film and dropped out because Stewart softened up the character and sang a few songs in the final film, as a showcase for his own accordion playing. With Mann out of the picture, <a href="/wiki/James_Neilson_(director)" title="James Neilson (director)">James Neilson</a> took over his position as director of <i>Night Passage</i>. For <i>Man of the West</i>, <a href="/wiki/Gary_Cooper" title="Gary Cooper">Gary Cooper</a> was eventually cast in the lead role of Link Jones, a former outlaw who is forced to relive his past. This was Cooper's first true Western since 1954's <i><a href="/wiki/Vera_Cruz_(film)" title="Vera Cruz (film)">Vera Cruz</a></i> with <a href="/wiki/Burt_Lancaster" title="Burt Lancaster">Burt Lancaster</a>. He initially felt that he was miscast in the role of the former outlaw because he was twenty years older than the character; Cooper was 56 at the time of filming, the lead character being 36. However, in an interview at the 2008 Cinecon in Hollywood, Mirisch claimed that having just wrapped <a href="/wiki/Love_in_the_Afternoon_(1957_film)" title="Love in the Afternoon (1957 film)"><i>Love in the Afternoon</i></a>, he promptly signed Cooper for another picture, which ended up being this one. He stated that they hadn't even considered a director yet, so Stewart was never a factor. </p><p>According to biographer Jeffrey Meyers, Cooper, who struggled with moral conflicts in his personal life, "understood the anguish of a character striving to retain his integrity ... [and] brought authentic feeling to the role of a tempted and tormented, yet essentially decent man." </p><p>Mann found working with Reginald Rose "a little more difficult, because they had bought his script and they wanted to stick with it, and I didn’t really want to." Mann said "I had to try and break it from its rigidity, which was mostly talk. I would have changed the girl completely, if I’d only driven hard enough. But I wasn’t able to convince the guys who were producing. I eventually convinced Cooper, but by then it was too late." Mann wanted to change the girl to Cooper's wife. "It would have been much more moving. The other girl was stupid, and I hated it, and wanted to change it, and they wouldn’t let me. Just imagine if the wife had to do what she has to do. Then it becomes much more poignant; then he would fight to the death."<sup id="cite_ref-mann_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-mann-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><a href="/wiki/Lee_J._Cobb" title="Lee J.
