it amaze that henry fonda make the fantastic once upon a time in the west the same year and or thereabouts and that he make this atrocity . tonally inept and direct like a school play and with an obnoxious and heavy hand score and this be an object lesson in how not to make a western . a you probably know by now and an impossibly brutal killer terrorize a small town but no one have the courage to stand up to him . you would think they could hand out a few gun and encircle the guy and instead of take him on one at a time . various central cast western type cycle through and brandish their mustache and petticoat and and seem to have be leave to their own device on such matter a line reading ( keenan wynn and in particular and bark his dialog a though dictate it to a sign painter ) . ersatz aaron copeland music kick up for interminable montage of town building . henry fonda and janice rule have the same argument for two hour until and mercifully and some bloodshed make the conversation moot . you will mourn the two hour of your life you sacrifice on the altar of this inert flick .
