Hollywood western, violent but didn't seem to be influenced by spaghetti westerns or Samurai movies. The interiors were too brightly lit. Dean Martin as a lawman gone bad. He and his gang rule over the town of Jericho with an iron fist, claiming 51% ownership of all the businesses. He's trying to get control of the stagecoach line owned by widow Jean Simmons. George Peppard, an itinerate gambler, decides to help her.
Slim Pickens attacks George Peppard with a bullwhip. There's one lynching and Dean Martin keeps talking about hanging people. Just not that good.
