One of them is a city-slicker, a mild-mannered, bible-spouting fellow; the other is a gun-fighting, drunken, hot-tempered lad, more at home with outlaws than with law-abiding citizens.

    This movie was absolutely one of my favorites as a kid. I loved it! You should watch it if you have never seen but through the eyes of a child not us grown up cynical people we are.

    Some of the acting is a bit lame and the gags are unbelievable at times, but it's still a fun movie. I saw it as a kid, so that is probably what makes it better to me.

Disney fun circa 1978, and so typical of its time.
