i keep wait for this bad movie to move beyond it stock character and hackneyed plot and but it never make it . we have floozy with heart of gold and grizzle old timer and cowardly townspeople and and an over the top aldo ray play evil incarnate . elisha cook be give the opportunity to reprise his shane role and the spunky and fearless and impulsive and and doom fool represent jack palance and with one of cinema great sneer and shoot him dead in shane and aldo ray do him the same courtesy in welcome to hard time . one plot gimmick after another be throw in and evidently just to fill up some screen time and when more time might have be spend develop the character of the townspeople .
