- Quotes
Sheriff Henderson: I've been expecting you, Johnny.
Johnny Concho: They wanna see me killed.
Sheriff Henderson: Yeah, I know.
Johnny Concho: They took my saddle and my horse. Everything I own. They stripped me clean.
Sheriff Henderson: Have you decided what you're gonna do?
Johnny Concho: You don't seem to understand; they took everything I had.
Johnny Concho: You went looking for someone to do your job for you. They went looking for what belonged to them.
Johnny Concho: There must be somebody in this town. I remember when Red was alive, everybody said what a great guy he was. Now that he's dead, they act like they never even heard of him.
Sheriff Henderson: You know, Johnny, it isn't often you get the chance to meet the man who killed your own brother.
Johnny Concho: What am I supposed to do? He's a professional killer. That's his business. I wouldn't stand a chance against him.
Sheriff Henderson: No, not much. It's gettin' darker.
Johnny Concho: Is that all you've got to say?
Sheriff Henderson: Well, to tell the truth, Johnny, you got so little time left, I don't figure you oughta waste it talking.
Johnny Concho: I can't outdraw a gunslinger. I'd get killed.
Sheriff Henderson: Most likely.

As I recall "Johnny Concho" I have yo agree with some reviewer here that says it's not believable that a whole town will just do what Johnny says and give him whatever he wants just because his brother is a top gunman. Nor it is believable either -and this is my own- that a cowardly man will push the things too far even if his brother is a top gunman. That's mainly what demerits this picture: the plot is hard to swallow.
That aside -which is no minor item- "Johnny Concho" has good moments, adequate atmosphere, good photo and more than acceptable performances, that make it a film to see for western fans.
