ColeSmithey.comElmore Leonard's terse novella is the basis for this elegant Western.

Van Heflin and Glenn Ford represent a unity of opposites in their respective roles as a family man cattle rancher, and a stagecoach-robbing outlaw, respectively.

Each man reveals his personal code of honor as Heflin's character attempts to get his handcuffed prisoner on the train of the film's title, on time.

Here's a Western you can lean into.
