Don't Gamble on this Gambler, Girl & Gunslinger **
26 July 2009
Warning: Spoilers
You just know that when the 2 guys meet, despite the animosity between them, they shall ultimately become friends especially when there is a threat by Emperor Maximillian's army and other renegades towards them.

A well dressed drifter roams into town and gets land thanks to a win in a card game. He is the gambler.

The guy loves a widow, but her husband has been dead for three years now and our guy hesitates in proposing, instead offering all kinds of excuses not to wed her. After all, Jim, her deceased husband, was his friend. Apparently, the girl has been waiting 3 years for our guy to ask so we can imagine the marriage she had with Jim.

In Mel Brooks' film of 1974, "Blazing Saddles," a line was stated that never in the history of motion pictures has the cavalry ever been too late. While this is true here, the ending is quite silly and if anything, detracts from the movie itself.
