Quotes:
Alice Moffitt: Where is she...your woman?Amos: I buried her. Had to...she was dead. Yeah, I come here one day and she was sittin' at the table deader than a can of corned beef. The poor old woman didn't even have a chance to finish her bowl of prunes. It hit me plenty hard, ma'am. But what come close to shakin' me was after I done finished diggin' her grave. I come in here to get her and she was all stiffen up...harder than a railroad tie. I had to bury her sittin' up! The poor old woman has to sit up straight and proper until judgment day.

There is really nothing deep or thought-provoking about this TV western, but it is nonetheless smart and entertaining. Liz Taylor in a western? I couldn't believe it at first either, but she shines in the title role as a world-class gambler who is never considered a worthy opponent because she is a woman. The character is a delightful mix of hard-as-nails independence and true ladylike gentility. Liz played it beautifully to the limit. Susan Tyrell is hysterical as the wisecracking prostitute who takes orders from no one. Her and Liz's knockout rolling brawl was hilariously reminiscent of that of Marlene Dietrich and Una Merkel in Destry Rides Again. Overall a great little TV movie.
