In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

The Outlaw (1943)
An American western romance by Howard Hughes.
Billy The Kid has Doc Holiday's horse and they at first butt heads, but agree to work together. Billy is injured in a fight with the sheriff and recovers in Doc's girlfriend's house. The girlfriend falls in love with Billy when he recovers and when Doc returns, the sheriff begins to hunt this duo again.
This was a very standard western. Everything about it was stereotypical and normal. The only thing I can say is that these gunslingers have not forgotten the faces of their fathers, say thankee. They do not shoot with their hands, they shoot with their minds. And egads, are they good shots. The female lead gets female anatomy points for reasons that are never uncovered, but still prominent. I have to rate it adequate because of gunslinger and female anatomy points.
