Ex-lawman takes up the badge again to go after the men who tried to lynch him for a crime he didn't commit.  Good Western despite script that refuses to stay on point, partly because Clint Eastwood plays this character so convincingly and partly because the story's digressions are interesting in themselves.  It's a pleasure, for instance, to see both sides of the issue of capital punishment treated with respect.  Excellent supporting cast includes Pat Hingle as a hanging judge and Bruce Dern as one of the lynch mob.
