The best version based on Zane Gray's novel, in fact it surpasses the book, Amy Madigan and real life husband Ed Harris perform well together. A good feel of the true west and some of the religious fanatics and bigots that lived then. I think in some respects it was similar to Clint Eastwood's "Unforgiven" and in passing "Pale Rider"
