...ends with Keith Carradine getting shot in the forehead during a duel, and then "(There's Got to Be)A Morning After" plays over the ending credits?

I remember seeing such an ending to a movie (on PBS of all places) when I was bout four years old. The actor who ends up dead and the ending song are all I remember, although the fog of years make me recall Harvey Keitel, who obviously isn't in this movie, as being the shooter. It was quite a shocking scene for someone my age.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

Keith Carradine gets shot in the forehead in McCabe and Mrs. Miller. The only movie I remember a song called "There's Got To Be a Morning After" in is The Poseidon Adventure but it sure ain't a western.

"We can't stop here. This is bat country!"

Douglas does kill Keith Carradine in this movie, but not at the end. I can't remember exactly, but I think he does shoot him in the head.

I think he gets shot in the chest. He's a young gunfighter that comes in to challenge the older gunfighters during the hyped buildup to the gunfight of the title.

Your description also sounds like a movie called "The Duellists," from 1977. I don't know how that particular film ends, but it definitely features both Harvey Keitel and Keith Carradine. (And, as the title suggests, there IS a duel--perhaps even two--in this movie, so it may well feature the ending that you remember in your above description).

I think Ridley Scott might have been the director of "The Duellists." Hope this information helps!

Yes, it does, thank you very much.

Oi, how my memory failed me. I'll have to buy this when I next run across it.

After Cash and Douglas agree to the gunfight they pose for pictures and Keith tries to forfully get involved so he can get some of the money and Douglas kills him.
