Worst Western Ever??

I caught this flick on Encore and was enthralled in how downright BAD it was--acting, directing, dialogue. Wow. They all stunk to high heaven.

Two notables" Randolph Scott and a very young Charles Bronson.

The rest are worthless: looks to be directed by a small child, with apologies to the child. Silly, wooden, laughable dialogue.

How some of these movies get made, and how the actors HAD to know how bad it was....these are the only intriguing questions.

Watch this only for the laughs.....it is truly pathetic.

Well, opinions are like anal orifices- everyone has one, and some are more full of sh!t than others. And yours re: this film is pretty full.

I thought it was original, with some interesting characters. I enjoyed it.

It's sad that the OP didn't enjoy this movie. The story was compelling, comic relief was well done, and the suspense factor worked well too.

It's certainly not going in my 'favorites' column, but if it were on TV, I'd spend the time to watch it again.

Disagree. This was a good western.
