Excellent Western, best seen without commercials so you can enjoy the increasing suspense. A musical theme song was rarely used better, ditto Gary Cooper's weakness (uncertain, old, scared, still able to get a hot wife). The supporting cast are full of rich, different characters - the bitter untalented deputy (Lloyd Bridges); the world-weary-but-decent-and-smart Mexican lady (Katy Jurando); the nasty inn keepers wanting the outlaws to come back; the anxious townsfolk (including Thomas Mitchell); the drunken ex sheriff (Lon Chaney Jnr); the decent farmer who doesn't want to die. Very believable and entertainingl
