Cat Out of the Bag Alert! This review contains some spoilers for this film!

Synopsis: A drifting gunfighter (Clint Eastwood) wanders into a town with two rival factions and proceeds to play them against each other to his benefit.

Purr Blur: In one scene the gunfighter enters a house full of Rojo’s men. A cat meows from somewhere in the room. One man spins to shoot and the gunfighter proceeds to shoot all of the men. When he is done, a tabby cat appears from somewhere behind the table and runs out of the room with a screech.
