I realize that no one will read this, but I just have to vent. Where to start?! My wife should be so lucky as to have the clothes Sally has. In a little town, every time we see her, she is like the hottest chick in the west all gussied up like she is going the opera in London. And of course, with perfect hair and makeup. But I am sure this is typical of every other women in the ol' west.
It seems like half the men in this town dress in pretty darn nice business suits every day. Not sure what they do, but they sure look fancy.
And our hero, Cass wears clothes right off the rack from 1950. Short wasted jacket, starched shirt and nicest hat in town. It amazed me to see all the double holster rigs being worn since these weren't invented until some movie director thought they would be cool. And everybody shot the same type of Colt single action revolver. Hummm?
I also couldn't figure out where all the light was coming from inside the barn during the shootout. It was night time, but so bright, shadows appeared everywhere and visibility was no problem.
After the giant gun battle and dozens of shots being fired, apparently, no one in town bothered to come check out what was going on. The whole town was quiet, a piano could be heard still being played and life went on like normal.
Cass and his young deputy had to be the world's best marksman. Yikes! While practicing, they made six shots from the hip after a fast draw and all six were perfect hits.
I know movies are made for entertainment and tend to stretch reality, but it's amazing that audiences in the 50s would accept such examples of totally unrealistic depictions of life. Any why any director wouldn't try to put a little more realism into their movies. I really do like westerns. I've ridden horses all my life, raised cattle, I shoot single action revolvers in competition and can identify with the lifestyle. It's disappointing to watch these old westerns that are so far from reality, and see where other people have review them.
