Is it for you?

Who'll love it
One for animal lovers and western fans. An animal steals a fair few scenes.
The mood
Easygoing.
The pace
Well paced, at 1 hr 23 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
Made in 1948: an older pace and style.

In this above-average western, a villainous land grabber attempts to force horse ranchers to sell their ranches so he can become king of the horse market. One stubborn rancher refuses to relent and his killed. His two surviving sisters then continue the fight. They are soon assisted by a passing drifter who ends up falling for one of them. In the end a gunfight between the good and bad guys ensues.
