I enjoyed this old Technicolor movie filmed in Cinemascope except for the fact that the cable channel showing it cut off the sides of the picture, like as much as 1/3 of the entire picture.
Good family friendly story about doing the right thing instead of taking any easier, immoral solutions and how to resolve situations without violence.
I found it somewhat jarring when they showed a crank telephone in the sheriff's office, but no sign of cars or trucks in the movie. I did some quick research and found that before 1900, Arizona (I picked a dry Western state at random) had small unreliable telephone exchanges, with Bell Telephone creating a larger, more robust system in 1900. The first paved road for cars didn't come about until 1920, so yes, crank telephones but no cars. Horses or walking were still the only modes of transport.
