winchester 73 be a great story and and that what i like about it . it not your everyday western it use a rifle and which pass hand from various character a a mechanism for tell the story about these people . rock hudson play an indian chief and jimmy stewart play a great leading man with heart and strength and and shelly winter play a gal who have to cope with the reality of her husband and the wild west . it important to note for those politically correct type they kill a lot of indian in this movie without remorse . by today standard and it still pretty violent . but it a great story and worth watching . enjoy .
