Second viewing.
In a turn-of-the-century western town, the town marshal becomes very unpopular among the town elite, but refuses to resign.
This film has an interesting plotline which nevertheless has some obscure zones. The main character's attachment to his office is not an obviously understandable position, and not even a necessarily likeable one. The eminent citizens who want him out are not likeable either, of course, and this lends the movie a detached tone which may be alienating to some, but which I personally find seductive. The film had two directors, and I think I can perceive a difference in style in different sections of the movie. One of the directors is a TV guy, and most of the film has a very TV-like feel; the replacement director is probably responsible for some more dynamical sequences where the technical expertise he became famous for is evident.
