Steady, but Unremarkable and Uncommonly Sentimental Western, Notable for Future Super-Star Bronson's First Top Billing.
Because it's Bronson the Movie has an Odd Feeling as the Budding Star Slinks into an Introspection Not Usually Found in His Overconfident Macho Screen-Persona.
For Example, much is Made of His 'Short" Stature and Supposed Over-Compensation with His Gun and Killing.
Charles (Bukowski) Bronson was 5'9" Tall...Hardly Short.
The Story Has Bronson Trying to Collect on a Bounty (although he is a Marshall) and the Killer was so Liked in Town that All of Them Turn on Him in a Heart-Beat.
He is Also Forced into a Romantic Affair and the Meeting of Two "Lonely" and Outcast People Find Each Other and Attain Happiness.
The Gun-Play and Violence is Straight-Forward but Energetic and Effective.
John Carradine has a Significant Role as the Only Townie that Warms Up to the Marshall-Bounty-Hunter.
Bronson Fares Better in His Next Starring Role for Roger Corman as "Machine Gun Kelly" (1958).
That's the Bronson that Gained a Fanatical Fan Following.
