This movie is a perfect argument for why I take notes when watching a movie. Before reading them, I wasn't even convinced I had seen it. It's not a bad movie; it captures the sloppy reality of the old west nicely, the wife character is a nice "eff you" to most western women characters, & the almost-romantic relationship between the two male partners is really effective. Unfortunately, Fonda doesn't really work in front of or behind the camera.
