contains spoiler with the possible exception of john wayne and no other actor sit taller in the saddle in western than james stewart and and this movie prove it . this superb tale of revenge center around a winchester rifle and have only one weak spot i can think of represent the casting of will geer a a very unearp like wyatt earp . the casting of the villain be good representstephen mcnally and a surly dutch henry and dan duryea a waco johnny dean and and john mcintire ( versatile at play both good guy and bad guy ) a a slick gun runner . the showdown between stewart and mcnally on the cliff be great . i would stack this western against the whole crop of western make today . they wouldn not stand a chance .
