In New Mexico, a Confederate veteran returns home to find his fiancée married to a Union soldier, his Yankee neighbors rallied against him and his property sold by the local banker who then hires a gunman to kill him.

“I loved Yul Brynner in this movie, and Janice Rule did a good job as the frustrated wife of the crippled, hard-drinking, ex-Civil War fighter. Yul Brynner is excellent as the brooding, cold, mercenary who has a job to do, but falls for the lady whose house heu0026#39;s decided to stay in while doing it. I was in my u0026quot;Yul Brynneru0026quot; phase when this one came out, and I can still see it over and over–much as I feel about The Magnificent Seven, the Return of the Seven, The Journey, or The King and I. I couldnu0026#39;t help but wonder if he actually played that harpsichord. He obviously couldnu0026#39;t sing, and only spoke the song while he played the tune on the ladyu0026#39;s harpsichord.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eYul Brynner was a smoker, and the cigar is ever present. I met him in 1972 out in Malibu, and I asked him if he could quit smoking for his healthu0026#39;s sake. He said, u0026quot;Nope. Too hooked.u0026quot; He was, and sadly for his fans, it was his undoing. He signed a photo for me for my birthday that year, which I still cherish. The world lost a great actor when he passed. He was the best in a Western, wearing black and walking that walk…a man of few words.”
