Thanks, that's been bugging me for a while.

Now I just need to find somewhere to watch it. Or any western for that matter. The sites I've found have had slim pickings.

Not a John Wayne movie, but it is a western. I don't remember who's in it, but I do remember the plot.

Movie is about a guy who has a gambling problem. He goes into town to buy... something, with everything he has left and gets into a poker game with some high rollers. He keeps losing and losing, but finally gets a good hand... but he's run out of money. Dude passes out or whatever during the game and his wife, who's pissed at him, steps in play for him, and the rest of the movie is her trying to figure out how to get the money to stay in the game, while the game is still going on. And every time she's trying to convince someone to cover the bet she needs to call, she shows the person the hand her husband left with her and there's always this dramatic music sting and their eyes get really wide.

It was an interesting movie. Would love to know the name of it.

But beyond that, use to watch westerns all the time with my dad. Even browsed Encore Westerns back when I had satellite and that's where I found that movie. Really want to get back into the genre. Shame they don't make them anymore, but I guess there's only so many ways you have show a cowboy shooting some indians, lol.

Thank you.
