I can see why Hollywood loved this novella. Not long, well written, lots of violence, simple story, lots of themes, great hero role, people being manly, two showy male parts (Cochrane and Tibby), sexy babe part (the wife), colourful support parts. The Mexican characters really go out of their way to help Cochrane.
The final film version was very faithful. I enjoyed it. Female part isn't much. But an emotional experience to read.
