Shoot the piano player, not the horse he rode in on
2 October 2022
I watched this film for the first time today. As mentioned by other comments, this is an excellent B-western, with a good cast led by Joel McCrea. There are a couple of things worth a comment--the villain seems to be a fairly accomplished piano player but presumably his frustration in not getting to Carnegie Hall has caused him to instead turn to murder and armed robbery. I don't know if I necessarily see the connection, but after all, this is a western and motivation need not be entirely believable. Also, there is a scene in this film (not graphic) in which a pack horse carrying dynamite is intentionally exploded. This casual animal cruelty is something I could have done without.
