A GREAT example of the Fifties horse opera, with Richard Egan's legendary gunslinger finding he can't leave his gun-toting past behind him, no matter how hard he tries. All the key elements of the genre are here, including the final showdown, but if it gets snagged on the odd cliche, the stunning photography gets it off the hook

Skin Head Reggae

The skinhead subculture was originally associated with music genres such as soul, ska, rocksteady and early reggae.^[1][24] The link between skinheads and Jamaican music led to the development of the skinhead reggae genre; performed by artists such as Desmond Dekker, Derrick Morgan, Laurel Aitken, Symarip and The Pioneers.^[11] In the early 1970s, some suedeheads also listened to British glam rock bands such asThe Sweet, Slade and Mott the Hoople.^[19][25] During this time, some reggae lyrics featured themes of black liberation and awareness, something that white skinheads could not relate to.^[26] This shift in reggae's lyrical themes created some tension between black and white skinheads, who otherwise got along fairly well.^{[27] (Wikipedia: Article - Skin Head)}
