I say 'Shoot the mother!'
*Possible Spoiler*
Am I the only reviewer who gets seriously wound up by the mother forcing her pacifism down her son's throat?? Not allowing him to have toy guns just because her husband was killed in the war. It's a wonder that she lets Sterling Hayden's gun toting sheriff through the door...take off your shoes...and the gun belt! I keep hoping Sinatra's heartless killer finds pity for Pidge and offs the ninny-nanny mother...but it never happens of course.
