Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Great for spy-story fans and people who'll be humming afterwards. Nobody is quite who they seem. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top.
The mood
Easygoing.
The pace
Never drags, at 1 hr. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
Made in 1950: an older pace and style.

Posing as wanted men, Chris and Waldorf get hired by Sanderson. He sends them to kill the Sheriff but puts blanks in their guns. When they arrive someone else shoots the Sheriff and Chris is blamed and jailed. The Sheriff's brother then incites the mob to hang Chris.
