Artistic Western? That one reviewer must have been hitting the Hoppy Juice a bit too often. I guess he thinks any Western that's not a clash over water rights is "artistic." This piece of junk was obvious from the start (Surprise? You thought the girl did it?)

Also "the cast was excellent , including Elliot?" He was stiffer than the oak tress in the background. I guess I can't take too much "Art" in my Westerns. Give me "Stagecoach" anytime.

The Showdown. Bill Elliot. Was old Elliot Wooden School of Acting Guru a regular Republic leading man? Why was Walter Brennan playing that type of character at that point in his career?

It was made in two WEEKS, not two days as someone else's review stated. Please get the facts straight. Read Robert Vaughn's autobiography, he has some choice information about the background of the making of this movie.

Robert Vaughn recalled the filming of it. It took place entirely in Griffith Park in California and the animals involved refused to cooperate. Also, he was sent to the hospital twice. once when an animal bit him, and once when he fell off a log and stepped on broken glass. The glamor of show biz, it is intoxicating.

It was eventually released on a double-bill with the Michael Landon classic.....wait for it....."I Was a Teenage Werewolf."

Oh, Roger Corman, you've done it again!

How could one reviewer get it so wrong? It was not Sergio Leone who requested Henry Fonda to wear brown contact lenses, it was Henry Fonda who , when knowing he was going to play a ruthless villain, grew a full beard and bought brown lenses. Leone saw him and persuaded him to be clean-shaven and have "the beautiful, bright blue eyes of a killer." He wanted to shock the audience by having clean-cut Henry Fonda be a child killer.

It is one of the greatest movies of all time!!!

Harmonica (Charles Bronson): Did you bring a horse for me?

Killer (Jack Elam): No, it looks like we're one horse short.

Harmonica (shakes his head): You brought two too many.
