- Quotes
Johnny McGivern: Why didn't you draw on Kiowa?
Conn Conagher: You mean, was I afraid? Staples didn't need killing. He needed to be taught a lesson.
Johnny McGivern: He'd had killed you if he had the chance.
Conn Conagher: He might have. But I'll tell you something, kid. Any man who kills when he could do otherwise is crazy. Just plumb crazy. Some men take to a side of killing, Johnny. Just make sure when the killing time comes, you're standing on the right side.

Second, on behalf of my wife, this is her favorite western of all time.
And she has seen a bunch of them!
In addition to being a cowboy movie, it's a romance. A realistic one, too. Katherine Ross' strong female character provides an excellent counterpoint to Elliot's rough cowboy ways.
Sam Elliot gives his finest performance, I think. He certainly seems to be having fun while doing it, too.
In many ways, this movie reminds me of "Will Penny", another fine western, starring Charlton Heston. If you liked "Will Penny", you will like "Conagher".
