I liked this movie a lot. It started off a tad slow, but quickly picked up and developed into an awesome movie with a great story and top notch characters. It was roles like this that Jimmy Stewart really shined.

If you have never seen it, check it out.

I remember having to watch it for a film class as well, if you enjoyed it check out High Noon with Gary Cooper, great great classic western, a little less of the anti-hero flick but one of the classic westerns.
