A terrific western. Quite uncommon to see a film of its time ending with the character getting down, and actually crying.
One thing that should be note is how influential the film was in terms of music being used to promote films. The title song by Dimitri Timokin was turned into a single before the film release, and became an instant hit. It then became commonplace to have a major studio release have a song made to promote the film, especially in the 60's, which would then be incorporated into the films score. These days that sort of film / song thing almost seems like a lost art, especially since so many film songs these days are written separate of the film composer.
