I watched again. probably #30 or so the other day, and wonder if any of you Western fans have any idea why at the end, when she is brought home, her husband comes to her and they hug, but she turns her head and looks at Randolph in a weird way. I really can't tell if it's lustful, longing, or apologetic. Is she sorry she never had any further 'dealings' with Randy?
Any thoughts?

Well from what I remember it is all those things. But it's part because she can't have any dealings with him. The realization of her husband's condition make any potential future impossible regardless of their feelings. Whether she loves her husband or not she is at least obligated to him as caretaker.
Part also may be the silently said "This is what I couldn't explain. This is why you had to do this."

I thought that shot was blocked a little awkwardly. I thought how much
stronger it would have been if somehow she and her husband could have been placed in opposite positions, so as she embraced him her face could be watching, over his shoulder, Scott ride away. As it is, her turning her neck like she did seemed clumsy and I didn't feel the moment as much as I wanted to.
Nevertheless this movie and 7 Men from Now are, I believe, the two Bud Boetticher/Randy Scott westerns I like best.
