this is what i always hoped for a tourneur film to look like, and yet it reads gene fowler jr. the story is messy, doesn' t make sense, and it seems they had to shoot fast, but for the majority of its runtime this is one of the greatest cinematography in (regal) scope i' ve ever seen, where a muddy line between events at night and day make you dream of something bigger .
this western with a message starts out fast with an early gunfight, but then slows down considerably & takes things at a leisurely pace for most of the remainder of the movie. character development, especially of bronson & his girlfriend, is very good, & meaningful issues are explored (e. g. ,
is he a bad guy if he' s a model citizen in his town, has helped his neighbors in important ways, but just happens to have killed three people elsewhere ?
). the plight of short people is also explored to some extent. overall, a solid story with some action. i rate it 8 / 10 .

solidly eccentric b western from regal (shot in b & w
regalscope
) starring bronson as a bounty hunter who lands a clean self - defense kill on a bounty, only to have the town - for whom the dead outlaw had ingratiated himself - refuse all knowledge of identity, denying bronson his reward money out of spite .
you can' t dry a woman' s tears with a gun .
hopeless romantic charles bronson stars in this good - looking, black and white regalscope western. the story is standard stuff but the character motivations seem somewhat trivial to be getting into life and death altercations. bronson is a little bit more tender than usual which is not his strong suit, and the protagonists are utterly forgettable, however, john carradine is in top form as the acerbic town doctor / barber / mortician .
the marshal with a chip on his shoulder comes to town, befriends the single girl, takes down the big bad guy but the whole town stands by the dead guy. a sort of high noon where the good guy has to learn from his mistakes to live in town instead of killing everyone and going away. charles bronson does a nice job in this otherwise so - so movie .
a bounty hunter kills a wanted criminal but can' t collect the reward because townspeople refuse to identify the victim.
