SPOILER included... How I have missed good westerns with REAL heroes! With so many anti-heroes in the movies, it was wonderful to see an outlaw gone straight who really has become a good, honest man. I wish he'd been a little quicker (writer's fault) at discovering the dishonest administrator cheating on him and the prisoners, but at least he did fire him and make life better for the prisoners. A simple western but gratifying for being able to enjoy James Caan as a really "good guy". His relationship with the widow was wonderful... be still my heart! A warden any prisoner would want watching over him, and a romantic hero any decent woman would die for!
