Just the kind of beautiful world where a man in need of a miracle might find one, and the kind that can be despoiled a few acts of venality. Go to Full Review

Rick H Jun 15 Great movie. Very entertaining. See more 04/26/2024 Superb film. Don’t be fooled by its age - this stands the test of time because it’s so well written and acted. Very ‘Shakespearean’ in its emotional complexity, you should watch this…. See more rhinohouse 08/19/2023 One of Glenn Ford's best, and he's done some fine stuff. Rod Steiger makes one of the all-time despicable villains in this one. And Charles Bronson makes a sympathetic sidekick on the right side. And there is some excellent horsemanship. I enjoyed it and found the tense drama mixed with action and actor chemistry very absorbing. See more 08/04/2023 Outstanding one of the best westerns I’ve ever seen Glenn Ford, Ernest Borgnine, Valerie French Rod Steiger all did an outstanding job. Yes, I highly recommend it, James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas, August 4, 2023. See more 01/23/2022 TV(BS), R4.1.22 いつの時代も,それぞれの人間の思惑,気持ちが交錯し,人間関係の良しあしや,ねたみ,憎しみ,トラブルなどにつながるのだということを感じる。昔の映画でも,こういう割と大味でない人間的なドラマが繰り広げられる映画は好み。西部劇は割とこういうのが隠れている。 See more s r @ScottR 06/13/2016 Better than most westerns with great shots of the Tetons, good acting and story. The ending was rather sudden, but overall was enjoyable. See more Read all reviews
