Ride in the Whirlwind
Three cowhands, between occupations, have the dumb luck to pitch night camp at precisely the valley for a cabin packed with guys who robbed a stagecoach and murdered the protector. A posse forms up along the form arrives, and takes for granted that everyone else down below is sorry -- match for dangling from a tree, whichever comes first or shooting to bits. Precisely 50% of Ride in the Whirlwind's 82 minutes is specialized in tapping on the matter-of-fact terror of the circumstance. From the remaining half, the 2 surviving Cow Pokes (Jack Nicholson and Cameron Mitchell) seek refuge at a farm house where they reluctantly undermine the farmerand accept breakfast from his spouse, flirt along with his daughter (Millie Perkins), play some checkers, and hope to stay undetected till nightfall.
