I had this movie sitting in my "To Watch" queue for some time, and finally sat down to and watched it in its entirety this afternoon.
Knowing it was deemed a classic, I anticipated a great movie.
Sadly, I was actually disappointed in this movie. Great actors, and the song played throughout the movie is one that my Dad would sing occasionally, which 3/4 of the way through the movie I realized that this song was foretelling the finale in a way, which was kind of cool.
Anyways, I was hoping the townsfolk and new wife would have physically stood beside the sheriff in the end, but no, the poor guy fought bravely alone, and a great job he did.
