there be a number of review that comment on the cast of this film . suffice it to say that alex cord play a strong lead opposite robert ryan and arthur kennedy . what concern me be that many of you may not be aware of the ( at least ) two exist version of this film . in the u. s. version clay mccord gain amnesty from governor lem carter and then rid out of town redeem . i agree that end be less than satisfying . however and in the original italian cut clay mccord rid out of town ( weaponless a he have turn in his pistol to the governor ) and be bushwhack by the bounty hunter that have be slowly depopulate the bandit town of escondido . the bounty killer be excite at the prospect of split the $ 10 and 000 reward but be disappoint to find mccord amnesty agreement in the corps pocket . a they ride away one be hear to comment and if this amnesty keep up i be gon na start hunt buffalo . . this alone take a minute to pray . a second to die and place it on an even play field with movie like keoma and the big gundown . a the end credit say in the italian cut fine .
