My young daughters and I stumbled across this movie one summer night playing on a small, two-screen theater in Ottawa, Kansas. I will never forget taking our seats in the cold darkness and watching the screen jump to life with majestic southwest panoramas and an old west yarn full of shoot-outs and plenty of laughs. It truly felt like we had stepped back in time. I don't understand why critics decided to turn their back on this film. It's forever one of my favorites, for the memory and for the film itself.
