Truth is, that boy would hang there and squirm for quite some time before unconsciousness would set in, and more time still before he was dead.

I like how that marshal is clearly not someone to mess with, but it's in a more realistic, less Hollywood kind of way. The whole film feels like what the old West must have really been like.

Once he told the Marshal where his gang was, there was no other reason for him to hang around.

Just finally caught this on TCM, really interesting film. The title, the way the films ends, and the gun-twirling demonstration by David Huddleston’s (The guy who was the ACTUAL “Big” Lebowski) which shows how (some of) the legends of the west work (Curly Bill Brocius is known as a particularly nasty and no-good Old West outlaw (played by the late, great, on-screen nasty, Powers Boothe in ‘Tombstone’), but Huddleston’s character is there to set the Marshall straight - He was the one who taught Curly Bill all his tricks (The “true originals” of the West - and of culture in general - are mostly forgotten. It’s the carbon copies who come just-after them who get all the fame). Huddleston’s outlaw is there to help hammer home the point of the film, which is, the power of peer pressure and sphere-of-influence, and it’s affect on our young hero, played by Barry Brown. I wonder if his mother would’ve been so eager to have him dodge Civil War conscription if she’d had the slightest clue that he’d call in with “Bad Company” such as Jeff bridges. Powerful stuff.

Would unconsciousness happen that quickly? Seems like it was only about 5 seconds. This hanging was such a short drop that maybe it didn't snap his neck.
