- Driven by revenge the hero reveals the bad in the good
Not as great as the director's 3.10 to Yuma, but still a superior western, The Last Wagon inverts much of the American ethos.The law, as depicted by the sheriff, is brutal and stupid; Christians are racist; the Indian way of life, as depicted by Comanche Todd (Richard Widmark) is uncorrupted by the greed and destructive ways of "civilization".In the end, civilization recognizes Todd's goodness, even though he's been on a vengeful killing spree.
