A tough, violent film with an interesting and talented cast.
Why not pair this with Along Came Jones? Cooper produced and starred in that picture which spoofs his silent cowboy persona. Quite a contrast that shows the range of the artist.
Everyone in Australia must visit their local Big W, K-Mart or Target and buy this for around $11. It is one of the best westerns, and is amazingly available here but not (yet) in the U.S.

Don't listen to His Cliveness. JONES was a hoot. Coop should be proud.

One of the monst violent westerns i´ve ever seen, almost a psycho-horror-western

Indeed. This film is amazing. The ultimate masterpiece from one of the greatest western directors to ever live.

I'm glad to see TCM showing this more frequently now in the US. I saw this movie as a kid on TV when (of course) no movie was ever shown in widescreen format. Now I finally get to see it in widescreen and all I can say is "Wow!" Coop gives a terrifically understated performance and Cobb is fabulous as always. A very underrated western.
