Shotgun is a 1955 Technicolor Western film directed by Lesley Selander and starring Sterling Hayden, Yvonne De Carlo and Zachary Scott.

It was based on a story written by actor Rory Calhoun. Producer John Champion tried to get Calhoun in the movie but Universal Pictures would not lend him out.[1]

De Carlo wrote in her memoirs that the film was "hardly worth mentioning" except that she once had a crush on her co star Hayden and that this was the film where she met stunt man Bob Morgan who became her husband.[2]
