YMMV / Silver Lode

• Alternative Character Interpretation: To what extent is McCarty motivated by It's Personal, and to what extent by pure Greed?
• Anvilicious: The film's point about turning against one's neighbours because an (ostensible) authority figure makes accusations is not exactly subtle, and the message is made even more abundantly clear by having the bad guy be named McCarty.
• Paranoia Fuel: All it takes for your neighbours to turn against you is someone in a position of power making accusations against you. Or even worse: someone who seems to be in a position of power.
• Special Effect Failure: The backdrop in the set of the Evans' residence's backyard is very unconvincing. Besides simply looking painted (as opposed to looking as though it has depth), multiple characters cast visible shadows on it.
