Kudos to AMC for introducing me to a movie I've never seen before. A classic movie with fine performances by Kirk Douglas & Anthony Quinn.
A little bit of six degree trivia- the omnipresent Val Avery appears as the bartender screentesting for the same role in Nevada Smith.
What great acting- to see rich characters finding their tough, most brutal instinct, but tempered by thoughts of an orphaned son (Douglas) or a dead wife(Quinn). Even Earl Holliman's character is both killer/rapist and little boy , afraid and needing Dad. Quinn is torn between a friend, comrade in arms, now an enemy. Duty to family is paramount over friendship. Even for the man who saved your own life.
The marshal's difficulty in getting anybody in town to help him- particularly is reminiscent of High Noon. Seems to be a bit of 3:10 to Yuma as well.
I was only four when this flick was released- it seems the mid-50's thru early sixties were the Golden Era for westerns.
Last thought, how did Carolyn Jones go from her role to the Adams Family? Douglas's Indian wife first struck me as Kathy Jurado, but I guess I missed the train on that one. :-)
