What was this poker movie?

    There is a poker movie that I have remembered for as long as I can remember anything about anyrthing and I am trying to remember its name.

    I think it was in black and white. My memory of it is sketchy at best but I'll do my best to recollect the classic to beat all classic poker movie bluffs.

    Basically it was a western and a man faked a heart attack at the poker table during a hand played out in a salloon. I think the game was five card draw. His wife while obviously distraught at her husbands sudden death gathered her wits about her and continued to play his hand because all of her money and childrens money were still in the pot. Their future lay quite literally on the table. Her oponent, naturally a really evil bastard then tried to blow her out of the pot. She didn't have enough to call and had to find the money to call or forgeit her hand. She then called on the banker to stake her. The banker naturally refused until he was shown the hand. He then gave her enough money to re-raise. :D

    The villain folded and the ladies hand was never shown.

    What was the movie and where can I get it on DVD, NOW!

    BTW yes I know I can use google but this is more fun.

    It might have had a second title "Big Deal At Dodge City". I think it had different titles in the UK and USA.

    Story line - a group of gamblers/actors clean out the locals and split the money. Husband had heart-attack, wife plays the hand (knows nothing about poker), takes the hand across the street to the bank manager who stakes her.
