You Should Die Sunday is a 1956 American western directed by Roger Corman .
action
The unscrupulous saloon owner Erica Page buys up land in a small town and murders the former owners when they want to leave town with the proceeds to get the money back. She plans to sell the land to a railway company. The intrepid Rose Hood takes over the sheriff's office from her husband, who was murdered by Erica's henchmen, in order to stop the criminal. Erica instructs the outlaw Cane Miro to keep Rose away from her. Cane, who also has a bill with the former Mayor Gideon Polk, who lives in the city, falls in love with the impressive Rose, which in turn succumbs to his charm. But neither can nor wants to give in to the conflict, and so it comes to a duel in which Rose kills Cane.
criticism
“Corman made this weird little movie before devoting himself entirely to the horror genre. Despite some weaknesses, the unusual story clearly stands out from the usual B-Western stories. "
background
