So many reviewers here have complained about the size of Cagney's cowboy hat, saying that it's way too big. But Cagney's hat is much more historically accurate and realistic than many of the cowboy hats you see in cowboy movies. His hat is just fine. Besides, any man who criticizes another man's hat doesn't have a leg to stand on because a man's hat is a deeply personal choice, like choosing a wife. You find one that suits you and you take good care of it and you don't give a darn what anybody else thinks. Also, there's an even bigger hat than Cagney's right in this movie at about the 36 minute mark. Now, that's a big hat. And it's just fine with me. You'll never catch me criticizing another man's hat. And if anybody criticizes my hat I'll just smile and move on. Because I know the truth of the matter.
Overall this is a good little movie. It gets pretty "hammy" at times, but the action scenes are very well done. And it's nice to watch a western that gives a nod to realism, but isn't a slave to it. And I learned a think or two about the Oklahoma land rush.
