This was an exciting movie considering it was a fifties black and white film. The whole movie was about the loyalty of a town marshal and the betrayal of the town. Gary Cooper who played Will Kane as the star of the movie is the marshal of a small western town. Kane put a man away to prison named Frank Miller. At the begging of the movie Millers posse rides through town as the towns people watch in shock. On this day Kane is retiring and also is getting married to Grace Kelly who plays a woman named Amy. Everyone in the town is afraid of the sight of Millers posse. The entire town wants nothing to do with Miller and his posse. Kane marries Amy, after the wedding the judge comes in and says “One more ceremony and Wills a free man, more or less” and asks him for his badge. But Kane was hesitant because the town

Finally, there is quite a bit of irony in the movie. Think about the towns judge; he tells Kane that he is the best marshal that town ever had, yet the judge himself and no one else in the town for that matter would have any part in the whole situation. The only help or advice he would give is to get out of town as fast as he could. If he was that good of a marshal then he wouldn’t have thought twice about keeping him in the town and letting him take care of Miller. Another ironic piece of the movie is Amy, She wanted no part in this situation, didn’t even want to know what was happening she was just against it.

But at the end of the movie Amy picks up a rifle, points it out the window and aims it at Frank Miller, while Frank has his back turned to her and she shoots him without any indication. At that time of history that was an unwritten rule not to shoot anyone in the back or without them facing you. Now what happened to her being a Quaker? She just all the sudden decides to kill someone? That was quite ironic.

hadn’t had a new marshal yet. Kane replied by saying that he didn’t want to give his badge away before the new marshal started. I think that Kane new something was going to happen and that is why he said that. Even the entire board of selectmen believed everything would be ok.

The train station guy came running in the courthouse with a telegram saying that they pardoned Frank Miller. Everyone in the courthouse is flabbergasted and can’t believe it. Because Miller is bad news. The train station guy proceeds to tell Kane that Ben Miller, Jack Colby, and Jim Pearce are waiting at the train station for Miller. The whole town thinks that the smart thi
