Burl & Willa are no Romeo & Juliet

A very good story and a lot of action pulled off very well by the three guest stars. English actress Delphi Lawrence plays the torn-between-two-lovers character of Willa very well -- and delivers the goods as a woman thoroughly worn-out by it all even at her comparatively tender age. Fritz Weaver as the vengeful marshal whom Willa traded in for a young hispanic model does well too -- a very versatile actor, having brought his interpretations of several western tough guys to the screen in his time, and adding homicidal paranoia this time. The regulars mostly stand back and let them go through their paces.
