Review
One of the all-time great westerns with John Wayne as the small town marshall struggling to hang on to a murderer, whilst holding off a posse of villains determined to rescue him, until the state magistrate arrives. Refusing offers of assistance from sympathetic townsfolk due to their age/sex/infirmity, the tension builds as the Duke is forced to swallow his pride, realising he needs all the help he can get. Excellently acted, with some superb set pieces and even a couple of songs from Ricky Nelson and Dean Martin.
