Somehow the casting seems wrong. The sets are all right—wide, sagebrush-filled plains and mountains, dusty unnamed streets lined with two-story frame buildings. The supporting characters seem to be in order—leathery faced men with huge revolvers strapped to their hips, women in gingham dresses looking toughened and sexually starved by the life of the frontier.
It is the main character who looks wrong—at first. Heisofno more than medium height. His clothes are in tatters. He wears his dirty, stringy hair down to his shoulders. He does not carry a gun. He does not ride a horse. He does not even wear shoes.
