    In the past year or so, I've made a determined decision to get more accustomed to pre-1970's films from around the world, particularly genres I've previously given short change to, such as musicals, war films and westerns.

    I usually find Randolph Scott to be a bit lightweight but he's on top form in this classy revenge western. He plays bounty hunter "Ben" who apprehends "Billy John" (James Best) for murder. He is taking him to town for a reckoning, but what he really wants is to capture that man's even more murderous brother "Frank" (Lee Van Cleef) as he has some old, visceral, scores to settle. En route he rescues the feisty "Carrie"…
