There is some reason why I like this movie. Why I don't know but it sure wasn't for the writing or Robert Vaughn's acting. It's easy to see why they never gave him much as far as big parts or too many lines to speak in scenes in a movies when you watch this. Why they even kept him around in Hollywood is beyond me; this was terrible acting. The writers also must of forgot what they had wrote as well being the man in the beginning who tells Ben the new marshal to be(Fred McMurray) that they should hang the kid, while Ben is trying to tell him how important justice is then a little further into the movie this guy all of a sudden gets oldstimers disease or something because he is now going around saying what a awful guy Ben is for basically telling the truth. It's like they forgot what they wrote in the beginning of the movie. Plus the towns people goes Stepford Wives on us and forgets that their beloved marshal is killed and the poor old sweet lady now widow everyone just seems to forget about and they take up signatures to make sure the guy Robert Vaughn's character the killer doesn't hang, who cares about the poor old lady widow right? Come on now. This would definitely not happen in old west. What really makes me mad is Ben never once defends himself when Vaughn's character basically calls Ben a liar through the whole movie accept for in court of course.Plus he chickens out when they find a gun in the food container his daughter takes in to the jail and doesn't say a thing to the killer of what he's done to his daughter. You disappoint me Fred. The girl all i can say is had it bad. To dis her dad though for a whimpy let me die from these little scratches I want attention chew on the jail bars baby i don't get it but i see that in the real world to so when in Rome i guess. The part where Ben talks to his son to be is touching and i wonder if the guys from My Three Sons picked him because of that scene. With all this inconsistencies in this movie and Robert Vaughns terrible acting there is still something about this movie i like. Maybe because other than Robert there was some good acting going on.

This is one of the all time classics with a great plot and the certain twists and turns it takes you on wondering if Spencers character is going to get out of town alive or not and where everyone clicks just right having movie greats like Robert Ryan, Ernest Borgnine, Lee Marvin and of course Spencer Tracy you can't really say anything bad about this movie other than the fight scene between Ernest Borgnine and Spencer Tracy where he does his judo throw on Ernest is such a terrible job as a double standing in. Every time I see that part of the movie I want to find out how that got by the director. The guy was like more slender and like a foot taller and he didn't even look anything like Spencer Tracy. I always wonder how things like that get by unnoticed in the great Hollywood? Other than that great movie. Ben the critic
