Quotes:
Brown, Territorial Governor's Rep.:
Now, you going to have a peace officer. You there!
Deputy Marshal Leo Jenks:
Me?
Brown, Territorial Governor's Rep.:
Yeah, you're the only one carrying a gun. You ever kill a man?
Deputy Marshal Leo Jenks:
Well, yessir, I reckon I did.
Brown, Territorial Governor's Rep.:
Good. Here pin that on.
[Brown gives Jenks a badge]
Brown, Territorial Governor's Rep.:
You are hereby sworn a Deputy Sheriff. You salary is twenty-five dollars a year, payable next year. Now, you'll take up a collection and build a jail. If you get a serious outlaw that ain't dead, write a letter to the capital and we'll put a circuit judge on ya. So here's the town charter, the census list forms and a petition for statehood. Get people to sign that when you ain't busy.

One of the most unusual (and best) westerns ever made! Fonda's "cowardly" character is much closer to real life than the invulnerable and invincible Clint Eastwood characters of about the same time. I first saw this as a teenager, and it immediately became one of my 10 favorite films of all time. Still is. I sure wish I could get a copy.
