this wasn not bad at all and apart from the fact that the sheriff must have be naively optimistic in think that he and a deputy and an old timer could prevail against two different faction each consisting of a score or so men while in the event and he leave it far too late when it come to ask for outside help . and i think both faction be somewhat overheat about the situation . there a touch of high noon about the film and in that the action take place in a short time span and with a clock occasionally show what hour it be . in both film the sheriff doesn not have much support when it come to conscientiously do his duty . the suspense mount through both film and though john agar doesn not match gary cooper when it come to re act to it . i see from other comment that i be not alone in find the repetitive ballad singer an irritation while i almost cheer when he dash for cover during a shoot out while what a pity he do not get in the way of a bullet . the best fight be between two woman and one of whom end up with blood on her and which be more than can be say for the men who get shoot while they just clutch at unmarked shirt . and when someone get knock on the head it out of camera shot and which i thought be a convention that have be do away with some year before the film be make . trivia fan may like to note that this be the second western in which delmonico famous restaurant be mention in some agar dialogue while harry carey jnr taunt him about eat there in she wear a yellow ribbon .
