NOTES One of the few comic westerns that works well. Marvin plays

the dual roles of the drunken gunfighter and the hired gunman

who has an artificial (silver) nose. There's no doubt about

how memorable Marvin's portrayal is especially the classic

shot when the drunk Marvin seated on his horse which also

appears worse for drink leaning against a wall. Marvin got an

Oscar for the role.

Of course Fonda is a delight as the naive schoolteacher.

From the novel by Roy Chanslor.
