Kind of a less ambitious and ambiguous but no less warm Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. Surprisingly warm, in fact, given the content of Mann's other Westerns. Still very much Mann though, unlevel shootout and all. Anthony Perkins is perfectly cast as the tinhorn with the tin star, and Fonda is good as ever as his mentor. Leaves less of an impression than Mann's darker tales but it's quite fun.
