A great western!
4 July 2016
A surprisingly good western in the 60s A nice way to present the Old West where the bartender played by Arthur O'Connell tells the story to the young man played by James MacArthur. And this is a powerful story. Jonas Trapp (Chuck Connors), buffalo hunter, returns home 11 years later and found his wife taking another wedding. But the story becomes even more complicated when it is robbed on the way and marked with hot iron by three men (Michael Rennie, Bill Bixby and Claude Akins) one being the pretender (Rennie) to the wedding with his wife. Jonas Trapp brings hell to the small town. It becomes a powerful avenger nickname in the city of "The Tiger" becoming a legend. It is a great western, maybe a western B but high level, with a well-written script and great performances of the cast. Chuck Connors is perfect in his role transmitted all the bitterness and disappointment of a man who returned home with plans for the future. The fight between Connors and Claude Akins is pure adrenaline, only seen in "Shane" and "North to Alaska". A western that will always be in our memory, still one of the great westerns of the 60s Very good, very good.
