...have tolerated the same ragged plots over an over again simply for the emotional release they get through seeing a guy riddled with blanks and squirting tomato juice all over the lot. When they don't get this gunplay, when the picture gets arty and wanders out of its realm, western fans feel cheated; they get angry and bored...
...pleases neither the addict nor the casual moviegoer. What it lacks mainly is an original gimmick to replace the familiar action. Without this the movie is a formless as a jellyfish and generates about the same interest. Joel McCrea portrays a sincere bank-robber who hoists 2,000 realm of New Mexican sandstone wishing to hell he hadn't taken the dough.

It calls all this "an effort to encourage national unity." Now I can see well enough that it's nothing of the kind. It's an effort to poke fun at Dewey's speeches, and a silly effort at that. Almost anybody this side of Dogpatch knows that you could get the same results out of Hamlet if you removed single sentences...
