Invitation to a Gunfighter is a 1964 DeLuxe Color Western film directed by Richard Wilson, starring Yul Brynner and George Segal.

A lone Creole gunfighter, Jules, burdened by his own past of dealing with racism and prejudices, ends up in a town dealing with its own racist and hypocritical ignominies.
