The Proud Ones (1956), directed by Robert D. Webb
Phantom_Stranger: A fearless marshal clashes with a misguided cowboy, a ruthless saloonkeeper, and the indifferent citizenry as he struggles to maintain law and order in a quiet Kansas frontier town which is transformed into a riotous boomtown with the arrival of the first trail herds from Texas on the newly-completed railroad.
Good solid western adventure. Good acting and action. Nothing classic just a fine movie.
In The Proud Ones (Italian title: La grande sfida [“The Big Challenge”]), Marshal Cass Silver (Robert Ryan) advises his reluctant protégé Thad Anderson (Jeffrey Hunter) during target practice, “When you draw on a man, don’t let him talk to you! You shoot him!”
If Al Mulock’s hapless bounty hunter in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly had taken heed of the marshal’s wise words, he would mercifully have been spared Tuco’s post-mortem wisecrack, “When you have to shoot, shoot! Don’t talk!”
