An American western directed by Don Siegel, starring John Wayne.
An old gunslinger goes to see a trusted doctor and finds out that he has very little time to live. He takes up residence in a local boarding house where they find out who he is despite his lies. This causes the boarding house woman to wish him elsewhere and her son to invest a great interest in the gunslinger. The gunslinger takes care of his final business and arranges for a few old enemies to meet him in a saloon.
Come come commala, John Wayne's gonna falla. Commala come come, his life will be done.
The main character is treated like a harrier by the boarding house woman, but he's really a gunslinger and proves it to her through the course of the film. The characters and plot were good and it communicated very clearly. These '70s westerns are really cool because technology was just advanced enough to allow freedom of expression, but not so advanced that everything looks too perfect and fake. I'm rating this good because I think it's well made and coherent.
