Even after all these years, this was a movie worth seeing - one of the few Westerns I missed when they were still making them. Definitely worth the time.

great Henry Fonda acting...these were the values people grew up with around the world.nothing was simply black & white,but the inward struggle of one's own behavior and the good inside most of us gives rise to hope...still needed in today's world.
