I made one minor correction...

The sheriff's name in the movie was Billy Wilson, not Billy Watson. I corrected it in the article.184.0.120.235 (talk) 15:38, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

Reception?

What did the critics make of it, and how did it do at the box-office? Valetude (talk) 19:59, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Good question. I added a section with key contemporary reviews and Rotten Tomatoes' ratingMerry medievalist (talk) 11:22, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

Tom's fate—a production story waiting to be told?

I posted a note about TCM's erroneous statements about Tom's supposed death at the end of the film. His offscreen recovery makes me wonder, is there a reason Dean Martin did not deliver the line about it taking more than one bullet to kill him on camera? Was the character given a last-minute reprieve for some reason? Inquiring minds want to know.Merry medievalist (talk) 11:30, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

Who killed Billy Wilson?

The article said Morgan Hastings sent Curley to kill Billy Wilson. I've seen this movie several times, and as I recall, Hastings killed Billy himself. 2602:FE43:0:332D:704A:3EDD:90AE:467E (talk) 20:11, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
