    Not the best Stewart/Mann collaboration, but it beats the shit out of watching John Wayne rehash the same part for over 40 years. Stewart's a badasshole, Ruth Roman is kind of foxy and the European chick is pretty annoying, but for the most part its a fun ride.

    Better than decent but less than wonderful western refreshingly set in the Yukon during the Klondike Gold Rush. Starts out great with Jimmy being a real dick but ends up a little moralizing and mawkish. The wholly amoral American "marshall" is great.

    An unusually amoral James Stewart faces off with a vicious and corrupt judge in an nice shades-of-grey character driven western. Also features the best cowpoke sidekick in the business, Walter Brennan.

    Aaah, James Stewart! I saw all these oldies with my dad on saturday afternoons, and it was a treat. I still love them all.

    I really liked this movie. Jimmy Stewart is great as always. The story follows a loner who has never stayed in one place coming to the aid of a small town trying to be taken over by a ruthless thief.
