    Plot Summary
    After a card shark is caught cheating, he is taken out and lynched by the drunkards
    he was playing against. Soon afterwards, the men who were in the lynch mob start being murdered,
    one after another; all by hanging.
    Who will be killed next and who is responsible?
    Is it one of the original party seeking to cover their accursed deed,
    or perhaps the mysterious Rev. Jonathan Rudd, who has recently arrived in town?
    Written by Alfred Jingle

    Goofs
    Character error
    Al Dana refers to himself as a "simple town marshal" but the sign outside his office says he is a U.S. Marshal.

    Continuity
    When Nick is shot and dumped into the grave there is blood on his upper body, but there is no blood or bullet hole visible on his shirt.


    In the scene where Van Morgan and the Reverend Rudd are shooting at the wind mill they empty their guns. The next scene shows them reloading both weapons. The revolvers had swing out cylinders. Later in the gunfight in town, when they reload their pistols, they are now using Colt Peacemakers that have a loading port to the right side of the cylinder.


    In the church scene when The Rev. Jonathan Rudd meets Nick Evers, the Reverend collects four hymnals from the benches, placing the spine of the books in his right hand. The books then flip over with the spines in his left hand. At the end of the conversation, the stack of books flip back over with the spines in his right hand.


    When Van Morgan is playing poker in the opening scene he has a shirt on with two pockets that button down. The next morning after he crawls into town after being hit on the head the night before he has on a shirt with one pocket.

  • For me it was just Ok. Love the cast, but it seems to be written as if you can't figure out who the mystery killer is, when there's no mystery at all to it.

  • Nice Pics Larry and good write-up EK. Thanks to you both.


    I watched this movie when it came out and I was 18 almost every night at the theater until I ran out of my school allowance, LOL!. Great pic for my later golfing bud Dino. Playing with it was a "Poker" movie that came out in '66, A Big Hand for The Little Lady. It was great also, and I couldn't imagine how Henry Fonda found the expressions on his face without truly "living it"......actually they were all above their average in this little movie. For those of you who haven't seen it, I hope you do.......but don't read anything with spoilers in it. This was needs to be seen "pristine"!


    Peter found these for me, and I watched them twice for the first time in all these years this weekend. That, and quite a few others instead of working on my books and Scott Nollen's one, really put my head back on straight, LOL!
    Raring and ready to go again. Hi to all, KEITH

    God, she reminds me of me! DUKE
