I mean, I think the bones of the thing are so solid (Siegel, the plotting, etc.) that it works regardless, but I love Matthau. And Vernon and baker are perfectly cast too.

Hey, have you ever seen the The Laughing Policeman? That's a real hole in my serious-mode Matthau filmography. Also a hole in my Stuart Rosenberg filmography. But it's hard to find. Do you know it?

Maybe it is on a service now. Been a long time since i looked.
And yeah, John Vernon is so good. So menacing in an understated way. That whole scene when he climbs the corral fence in his suit... just beautiful.
