A Gunfight
Pretty good western with Johnny Cash in his first starring vehicle. Two aging gunfighters decide to sell tickets to a final showdown with the winner taking the proceeds. The whole town wages on the fight. Kirk Douglas in fine form. Cool ending, but does the winner really win?

john/jimmy..kirk/johnny
this movie should be given its place in any western collection.
much as another fabulous western 'the man who shot liberty valence', it deals with a 'west' that has changed beyond the main characters' capacities to understand.
and, in common with countless westerns (of the a, the b, and the c varieties), it all comes down to who fastest, ¿no? or does it?
both the leading characters are riveting in their own ways,and ¡the ending! oh my, what an ending. whew.
this is a fine western, definately watchable again and again, and therefore definately buyable.

A Classic
This movie is a classic for more than one reason. It has a great story presenting a moral quandary. It has two great starring actors including Johnny Cash in his first starring role. It is the first ever movie produced by an Indian tribe, the Jicarilla Apaches of New Mexico. Before casinos and cigarette concessions, the Jicarillas had money as a tribe to invest from oil, gas and uranium leases.

Bringing tears to my eyes and shame to this great movie, the VHS tape I recieved was of extremely low quality.
