Taut little western

What a great surprise to watch first a B western in a splendid LBX copy, with a great acting and directing for this kind of production. I hardly know the actors bt who cares? The topic is classic as thousands of other westerns, but that's the least of my problems with this movie. And it is short, sharp, very pleasing to watch. The director was a producer I guess but he did not let a major mark in Hollywood history. I really enjoyed this film and highly advise it to every western buff, and keep in mind that's a rare item, not widely known so don't miss your luck to see it. I have hundreds and hundreds of this kind of westerns in my collection, but not necessarily of this quality.

Goofs
Mary Hoag pulls a Winchester 1894 rifle from behind the bar, which won't be made for another 21 years at least. However, it is similar to other Winchester lever action rifles of the era in general looks. All of the handguns appear to be Colt Single Action Army revolvers which began in 1873. While it is possible for some to be there, it is doubtful that everyone would have one as they are new and guns were expensive for people then.

Quotes
[first lines]
Dipper: [narrating] This man came along the trail one Sunday morning in '73, taking it slow and easy, keeping his eyes open and his gun hand ready. He came from nowhere, I guess. Anyhow, he never said from where and we never asked. He was going to stop off in Purgatory, to make his stand like he lived - alone. This is Number One. He called himself Sabin.
