Having read the original novel after seeing the film, I was most impressed how well it adhered to the original plot line from the Zane Grey novel.
Ed Harris, an actor that I usually do not care for, was very, very impressive in this film. As Lassiter, I loved his delivery of the line to the bad Mormons: "Where I come from, a woman's word is law." Harris conveys the right portion of menace and due respect when necessary in his role.
I saw this on TV; I wish it had been on the big screen
Too bad Zane Grey never saw this version; I sure he would have been very happy with this production.
