Stranger at My Door is a 1956 American western drama film directed by William Witney and starring Macdonald Carey, Patricia Medina and Skip Homeier.[1][2] It was produced and distributed by Republic Pictures.
Quentin Tarantino called it a "classic" with "the most amazing and terrifying breaking-the- unbreakable-horse sequence in the history of western cinema, including Monte Walsh. Witney became so renowned in the industry for this sequence that when he started directing western TV shows, he was usually brought in to helm their breaking-the-unbreakable-horse episode."[3]
In 1991, a television film also entitled Stranger at My Door was released.[4] The 1991 film had nothing in common with the 1956 release other than the title.[4]
