Featured review
More like Hitchcock than Gunsmoke...
... in that it is more of a suspenseful tale of a marriage gone sour, betrayal, and murder than it is a tale of the old west. Although all of the things I just mentioned happened in the old west.
Bart and Clara are a couple who seem to hate each other. Divorce was a solution out of reach price wise and community standards wise for people of average means in the old west. You wouldn't have had the money for it and you would need that goodwill from the community when something went wrong, and something always went wrong.
Bart is going out on the town with his good friend Murph, whom Clara has no good word for. But the joke is on Bart, for Murph is having an affair with Clara.
You get the feeling that Murph is perfectly happy to go on like this forever, but Clara is not. So rather than an American divorce, she decides to resort to divorce Italian style. How she does that involves her manipulation of her extremely jealous husband, the unfortunate timing of a peddler, and the equal bad timing of the town drunk. Louie. I did have to wonder about the basic premise - That Bart would be so jealous and possessive of a wife he no longer loved or even liked.
I'd give this one a 6/10 if not for the good acting of James Nusser and the outsized role of his character, Louie the Dodge City town drunk. Louie did seem to lead an exciting life for somebody who spent most of his life inebriated.
