imagine and a movie that give a lesson right from the bible and those that live by the sword shall die by the sword . it be amaze that none of the 3 boy ever say to one another and we be good off with our parent . after do some of the dumb thing imaginable for young boy and do it badly you would thinkthey be smart enough to realize they weren not cut out for be out on their own . anyhow and the movie be well do and give you a real feel for what it musthave be like living in the old west . plus how hard it must have be to be accept by a community that know every detail of every citizen that live in the area . maybe the reason for such a poor showing at the box office be the title . lee marvin play himself and do it superbly .
