“This is one of the best u0026quot;Bu0026quot; westerns ever made. It stars the queen of the u0026quot;Bu0026quot;s herself — Marie Windsor, along with those two other great u0026quot;Bu0026quot; stars, u0026quot;Wild Billu0026quot; Elliott and Forrest Tucker.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt has an unusual twist which sets it apart from other westerns; Bill Elliot plays a card sharp and all-around bad dude whose life is saved by a preacher who takes a bullet meant for Wild Bill (all this takes place in the first five minutes of the movie so the plot is not ruined for you).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBill promises the dying preacher that he will complete the preacheru0026#39;s mission and collect the money needed to build a church. He also promised to u0026quot;follow the rulesu0026quot; i.e., raise the money without resorting to crime.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBill Elliottu0026#39;s efforts to change his ways and avoid temptation make for a great movie.”
