And while Raquel's train-stopping shower scene would make it memorable no matter what else --- it's got plenty more going for it. <br />I also agree with August West that MacLeod (who had at least one other book adapted for a big-budget movie - THE APPALOOSA, starring Marlon Brando) was a fine Western writer who should have done a lot more.wayne d. dundeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12468818760811792020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-32185433604779015482013-12-03T09:52:57.117-06:002013-12-03T09:52:57.117-06:00James, I've got this DVD and agree with your a...James, I've got this DVD and agree with your assessment.

And it's a good one. MacLeod was a fine Western writer. He didn't write many, but the ones he wrote are all good. I always thought he deserved more praise as a Western author.
