I hardly ever get into Westerns because they are just so typical and I don't care for the cliche of the shootings and violence. However I make an exception for this one that could be my favorite Western since it has more of a well thought out written plot behind it. Anyone else seen it?  |

Kind of a "fluff Western", meaning it's mostly for entertainment.
I don't think it's ever a mystery who the killer is. But that's okay.
No one can figure out why Dean picks the plain Jane with little personality over the hot babe who is exciting. Clearly, this part of the plot was for the women, while the shooting and killing is for the men.
Roddy must have done a lot of cutting up behind the scenes over his vicious character. Probably had some fun rehearsals.
6/10. That's better than average. It is a bit fun.

The women. By "Plain Jane" I take it you mean the madame of the brothel? Yeah, she didn't have much personality and was as cold as a fish. Dunno why Deano wanted her. And notice how subtle they were being that what she was running was a brothel. With a barbershop as a side business? Lol And when they have sex? Shows them making out then it shows him leaving after you can see that some time has passed. So why would she even think of going away to meet him in Denver when she could keep on doing her business in town? And what do you think was going on between him and the rancher's daughter? Did she just have a schoolgirl crush on him or did they ever have a romance in the past?

I saw it, but it was over 45 years ago when I was a mere kiddo, and at the drive-in to boot. So I remember Dean being in it, and nothing else.

I've seen it and it was a solid western film at best. Dean Martin was alright, but Robert Mitchum's performance was the film's saving grace.
