      Jeff S A look at a fascinating life is made more entertaining by the personality of Dan Duryea. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/20/24 Full Review Mike M The casting of Duryea, an actor who generally played hoods and heels, as the hero goes some way towards indicating the film's essential (and unusual) moral flexibility, a quality it shares with its protagonist: the fugitive man of law has to negotiate a series of new identities for himself, first with the gang of outlaws, later to move back into respectable society and win the hand of the gal that he loves. It's almost revisionist in its insistence that everyone in the Old West was on the make in some way, but its attention to characterisation can be surmised from the tracking shot along a line of passengers hauled off a train the Jennings gang are holding up, and - as you'd maybe expect from a storyteller with some legal experience - it's sharp indeed on the technicalities of this particular case. That deadening 1950s insistence on justice being seen to be done is evident in the finale, but up until then, it remains a genuinely unpredictable yarn: the only outcome we can be sure of is that Jennings, in whatever guise, survived long enough to get this story down on paper.
