a western Rashomon, 26 October 2002
Author: ronn mullen (ronnmullen@ozline.net) from florida, USA

The fun of this film is telling the story from three different viewpoints -- each version diametrically opposed to the others -- what is the truth? probably a mixture of all of them -- it's a fun film with DeCarlo in fine form and the feuding brothers fighting it out for her affections is half the fun.
