Best Western of all time ...
IMO.
I don't even like westerns, but the writing and acting was so outstanding, this film transcended genre.
Gregory Peck and his portrayal of Jim McKay was ahead of their time. Loved that this was the first, and only, film or show that showed a fist fight realistically, where the two people fighting got *tired*, and their fists hurt.
Brilliant screenplay, brilliant characters and dialogue, and acting.
