      Carrico: Isn't it customary to give a man chance to get even?

      Matt Comfort: Why, I wouldn't know. I'm not familiar with the niceties of the game.

      Carrico: I figured You for a man of high ideals. Seems I was wrong.

      Matt Comfort: You did? I figured You for a bad loser. I was right.

    Appealing appetizer with red herring
    This has to be one of the "best looking" films around. Very scenic, as a Western should be. Maybe the best looking two leads together ever.

    It's a "fluff" Western, and that isn't always an insult. That's what this was meant to be. Lots of B Westerns were made with different goals, but roughly 2/5 were made like this, to be just eye candy, with a few side dishes added on.

    Here, Arthur Kennedy is the "mystique" character. he comes on with too much of a likable rogue, and we wonder if he'll be the masked murderer who leaves Tony Curtis with the blame for a killing of a respected cattle baron.

    This is lifted up a bit over the usual fluff with a few red herrings, as we get a bit of a mystery. And the clues come to us the same way they come to the character played by Curtis, which is refreshing. We actually feel along the way with him, as this is very well directed.

    The review that claims Korman may have copied the villain for Blazing Saddles looks to be close to the mark I dare say. That kind of gives it a retro appeal that they hadn't counted on in 1955. It is an appealing film. Not memorable, but appealing.
