Overview

The tranquility of a small town is marred only by sheriff Tod Shaw’s unsuccessful courtship of widow Ellen Benson, a pacifist who can’t abide guns and those who use them. But violence descends on Ellen’s household willy-nilly when the U.S. President passes through town… and slightly psycho hired assassin John Baron finds the Benson home ideal for an ambush.

Viewing Notes

Sinatra is pretty good at playing a crazed, amoral criminal against Sterling Hayden’s good guy, stand up cop. Hayden comes across a little wooden in this film but I still enjoy watching him act.
