Time do fly. Saw this one way back when and found it a fun ride. Ernest Borgnine, Strother Martin and Jack Elam were never, ever creepier, nor Robert Culp (as "Thomas... Luther... PRICE") more enjoyably eccentric. He sports specs; not exactly what one might expect from a bounty hunter (whose vision would need be one of his most valuable assets). [Reminds one of the delightful episode of THE OUTER LIMITS, "Behold, Eck!," wherein a two-dimensional alien needs a pair of specially-made glasses to be able to see in a three-dimensional world...] Raquel Welch is serviceable as the deadpan woman who's been wronged, but it's the game of cat-and-mouse between Culp and the Brothers Dim that's most interesting. Ernest Borgnine, as the brother whose proficiency with a knife proves pivotal, is almost as loathsome here as in EMPEROR OF THE NORTH POLE. Strother Martin, as the duplicitous brother one beer short of a six-pack, is the kind of character you long to see sportin' some holes and Jack Elam is just downright creepy throughout. Some great (if familiar) western-types, played by some of the guys born and bred to play 'em.
