Comments: A traveling man stops in a remote town in the Northwest, of the Old West. He starts a game of poker and livens up the dragging saloon. He's in town to set up a better saloon and brothel. For some reason a woman takes a steam-powered car to the remote town deadset on joining his venture. They unite talents and develop a flourishing business. So when representatives from a large company come to buy up their business, she advises him to tread softly. Can he do that?

This film marks a transition from the "romantic" Westerns to the gritty--and more likely realistic--Westerns. I agree that this film is much like, what I know of such ideas: Deadwood.

Some of the background conversations are very funny. One must be paying close attention to pick them out. I like how the music is used to express inner thoughts of the characters. Good idea. This film broke many of the unspoken rules for Western films.
