1/10
boring old western

Warning: Spoilers
Scott plays a marshal in a town thats being over ran by both farmers and cattlemen. The farmers wanna settle down and build a life and the Cattle ranchers just wanna use the land for their cows to roam on. The town becomes one big feud and the marshal is right in the middle trying to keep peace, even though most wanna leave it alone, including county officials.

I am a huge fan of spaghetti westerns and even some of John Fords work, but these older American westerns with their happy go lucky good guy heroes have never been my thing.

It's pretty basic and the acting is okay, I liked some of the bad guys best. Lloyd Bridges is always good and it was nice to see him in an older movie. The actresses in these old movies are so dramatic and are so difficult to watch. This movie had a bit of a comedy side and that made it more appealing.

This movie had some laughs, some good fist fights and good actors (except the women), but it couldn't please me in the slightest. I would suggest it to people who like older westerns, but no one else. 1/10
