IMDB

James Stewart stars as a bounty hunter, looking for an outlaw so he can buy his ranch back. He teams up with a couple of strangers, who want a cut of the $5000 bounty. The criminal, a murderer, is trying to pit the other men against each other.
I'm a fan of westerns, I guess. This was a really good one. Stewart is obviously a great actor. The clothing isn't on the level of the spaghetti westerns, but it's not full on gay like the cowboy uniforms seen in earlier westerns, especially those made for children.
The plot is pretty interesting, with the murderer trying to get the three men to turn on each other. He uses his girlfriend, played by Janet Leigh, to drive a wedge between the men.

8/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
