The Bravados
The CinemaScope film was based on a novel of the exact same name compiled by Frank O'Rourke. Jim Douglas (Gregory Peck) is a rancher who has been chasing the four outlaws who killed his wife for six months. He slides to the town of Rio Arriba, at which four men, Alfonso Parral (Lee Van Cleef), Bill Zachary (Stephen Boyd), Ed Taylor (Albert Salmi) and Lujan (Henry Silva), matching the description are in jail awaiting execution, so that he can observe the dangling. Town has issued instructions to only allow the hangman (Joe DeRita) to input, so Jim is taken to Sheriff Eloy Sanchez's (Herbert Rudley) office to state his enterprise. Town has never needed an implementation and they have introduced an individual from outside town to complete the job. Jim is allowed by the sheriff into the jail. He has got the face of a priest, although they assert that they had never seen him earlier.
