Title: Underrated
Product review: This is a western I saw in the early 60s, the first of its kind, in which villains could be sympathetic - or even humane - and good guys didn't go without their own faults and ambiguities. Lee Marvin cuts the unforgettable figure of a killer with a sense of honour. And Randolph Scott is a study in stubborn dignity. It should go down in the history of western films as a landmark of intelligence and honesty. Budd Boetticher certainly is one of the most underrated directors of that period in Hollywood.
