The writer, David Webb Peoples, based his story partly on a western novel that impressed him greatly, This book was made into a movie, Il pistolero (1976), which was the last film ever made by John Wayne. Like Eastwood's character in this film, Wayne's character was an aging former gunfighter who finds himself facing extreme odd, leading to a dark end. As with the pulp writer in this film, there is a younger character who is fascinated with the lethal reputation of the protagonist and who serves as witness to his last hurrah.
