    Well acted Western

    This movie has some of the best dialog I have heard. Joanne Woodward is exceptional in her sassy, contentious character. She steals every scene she appears in. Van Heflin was always good and Raymond Burr I still dislike. A good story and a difficult subject, dealt with in a light hearted but serious way. Just, well done!
