It says all that needs to be said about friendship, self respect, loyalty, courage, and, well, simply knowing and doing what's right! At its best the Western was a morality play. It was about not just knowing how to fight but knowing when it's right to fight (well that was Shane, but the principle's the same). It was about being on the side of the angels, even if you've only got one leg or you're a washed up drunk. Martin was never better, and the Duke never more vulnerable - at least to a young Angie Dickinson.
