Ouro de Lei

Preacher comes to town , preaches brotherly love , befriends the local tart , riles up the powers that be , gets betrayed by some one he helps , falsely convicted in a show trial , and the town are going to kill him at the end ... Sounds familiar ? Odd little western - starts off comedic then starts retelling the story of Jesus !

Not much of a film , it's one of those where you think they just had a load of character actors doing nothing , so let's knock a film out . Charlie Ruggles plays Charlie Ruggles , Porter Hall is his usual slimey , hypocritical crook , Clem Bevans is a bumbling old drunk , Douglas Fowley is up to no good as usual - the disappointment is Schildkraut - his character doesn't do much and goes too quickly .

The film starts years later and flashes back , leaving hanging whether they hang him or not ... won't spoil it , but has a happier ending than the original story .
