This is actually quite western—a gun and a tendon suddenly raised in roughness and calmness. But often the male protagonists of Western films drift away from the last rib. They seem to be a rib, but they are not. In the end, they are often indeed a rib. John Wayne’s brilliant performance made this dull Western movie something to look at.
