The fun of this film is telling the story from three different
viewpoints --
each version diametrically opposed to the others -- what is the truth?
probably a mixture of all of them -- it's a fun film with DeCarlo in fine
form and the feuding brothers fighting it out for her affections is half
the
fun.

Other than THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE, I do not know of another
Western that as accurately captures the true nature of the West - and
the men and women who settled it. The plot is that of a romantic
comedy, but the characters are wonderfully written and acted - far
better than in most 'serious' films.
The two brothers battling each other for the affection of one women is
both funny - and dramatically believable. And the telling of the story
from three different points of view is superbly done.
In my opinion, this is one of the most under-rated films ever made in
Hollywood.
