Five Guns West is a 1955 Western film set during the American Civil War directed by Roger Corman. It was Corman's first film as director although he had already made two as producer. It was the second of two films he made for the American Releasing Company, which later became American International Pictures.
The film stars Dorothy Malone, John Lund and Mike Connors. The cast also includes R. Wright Campbell, who wrote the screenplay.
A pack of Confederate soldiers go after a traitor and a shipment of stolen gold. They end up taking a woman, Shalee Jethro, captive and begin fighting over her, before one of the men, Govern Sturges, intervenes on her behalf.
R. Wright Campbell was paid $200 to write the script; his first screenplay. It was Dorothy Malone's first film following the death of her younger brother.
It was shot over nine days.
Corman reportedly went over budget making the movie.
