This movie wasn't very exciting nor was the acting in it as well. I had picked this movie up at a pawn shop while I was buying strings for my guitar and decided to watch it because I had heard Marilyn Monroe was in it. It was the typical teenage movie where it displays the slums looking like San Francisco and made the teenagers all have New York accents and bad attitudes. I felt I was robbed when I noticed that Marilyn had a bit part in the movie and her name was called only once. I despise movies that promise the settings will be better the plot doesn't move you at all. The scriptwriter doesn't know how to write anything. This movie really should of stayed back in the pawn shop where I first found it.

This was actually my favorite western movie. It had beautiful imagery and conveyed a story that was similar to what Westerns had to face during the times when small groups of people moved west to start a new life and forget about everything that was East. They invented their own ways of life and stayed strayed from decency that was prevalent in the East. They had to face Indian raids, cattle thieves or 'rustlers' and no protection from the law. The main character of this movie was Johnny Mack, who thought that what Nixon was doing was wrong because Nixon claimed the ranchers had no right to the land. This was definitely a problem in the west as well, Federal Agents from the east would take land away and claim it for themselves, which was unfair but it was the law to do this and in the West, if you didn't like a law, you could use your gun to restore your rights.
