Gary Cooper is a cool headed guy. Always liked his easy going level headed characters. As some others have commented, there are some oddities in the script, such as a US Marshall who got his job and can't even hit a barn with a pistol. A rancher with about thirty hands but can't seem to keep his cattle from being run off.
But there is plenty of the quick thinking, straight shooting Cooper to keep you entertained.
This movie was made in 1950. People in their 20's and 30's have trouble understanding those movies were made for entertainment not Oscars.
To expect Oscar material does this film injustice. It is about the good guys finding a way to round up the bad guys.
So rent, borrow, or buy this movie, pop some corn and enjoy the Coop one more time.
