Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaClint Eastwood (Marshal Jed Cooper) wore the same gun belt and holster that he (as "The Man with No Name") wore in the "Dollars" trilogy (the three "Spaghetti Western" movies directed by Sergio Leone), and that he also wore as Hogan in Two Mules for Sister Sara (1970).
- GoofsWhen Jed is rescued from the noose, a white vehicle can be seen flashing quickly between the trees in the distance.
- Quotes
Jed Cooper: You don't remember me, do you?
Reno, Cooper Hanging Party: No.
Jed Cooper: [showing his hanging scar] When you hang a man, you better look at him.
- Alternate versionsAs with many westerns at the time the UK cinema version was cut by the BBFC to reduce facial closeups during the opening lynching and to edit Cooper's fight with Miller. Later video/DVD releases were intact.

Perhaps Under-appreciated?
I found this to be a pretty solid western, not one you hear a lot about but a fast- moving film which means it entertains. It doesn't dawdle on any one particular scene.
There is a good cast in this Clint Eastwood-starred movie. Pat Hingle did an outstanding job as the too gung-ho judge but isn't all bad and has an interesting explanation of the situation he was in near the end of the film.
Overall, this a gritty story with Eastwood in his customary revenge-minded role, although he mellows somewhat by the end of the film. I also appreciated all the good facial closeups in here. As with most westerns, the movie is nicely photographed.
This movie had a odd combination of being really raw in parts but yet thoughtful. I think it's a very underrated, under-appreciated western.
