About
If you enjoy lean, good-humored Westerns with a lighter touch than Yellow Sky or Two Mules for Sister Sara, this is an easy watch; Not for you if you want deep characters or a very clear, straightforward plot.
Pros: brisk pacing; wry humor; likable lead | Cons: convoluted plot; uneven second half; thin villains
