Comment
Classic western that is notable for being shown in real time, as time counts down to the baddies arriving in the town that Gary Cooper is trying to defendHe tries to get the townsfolk to help him but they are reluctant to help him. This has a good performance from Gary Cooper, partly because he shows real fear and pain.
