Charlton Heston made two good westerns: "The Big Country" and "Three Violent People". "Three Violent People" will show you a rousing good time. It is about a former-Confederate soldier (Charlton Heston) married to a southern belle who is hiding her former job as a saloon girl (Anne Baxter). When the husband finds out, he loses interest in his wife. Then the soldier's brother (Tom Tyron) takes over.
This is Anne Baxter's best western. I think it is her only western. Tom Tryon made two more good movies: "The Cardinal" and "In Harm's Way"; then he retired in 1971 and became a successful novelist. You will notice Hollywood's best supporting actors in this movie.
