Movie Haiku:Hugely influential Western that’s been quoted so often that the original’s now somewhat stale. Stewart wins the eponymous rifle but it’s stolen by his rival before the plaque with his name can be affixed. It’s passed from hand-to-hand with Stewart in obsessed pursuit until justice finally prevails.
