An American western written and directed by James Edward Grant, produced by and starring John Wayne.
An injured gunslinger meets a farming family on his way to deliver a message. Once the message is sent, the gunslinger loses consciousness and is nursed back to health by the family. He sheds a little more blood of other men before things change drastically.
John Wayne has not forgotten the face of his father (except for that time when he did a comedy). He's a real gunslinger in this film, say thankee. This may have been a partial inspiration for The Dark Tower, with characters referring to eachother as "thee". I was waiting for Andy, the robot to come marching onto the screen, but it didn't happen. Overall, the film was a little lack-luster and half-assed. It just wasn't very interesting. I'm rating it poor, but not with a vengeance.
