Thanks to his prowess with a gun, Dave Robles (Anthony Quinn) makes a place for himself in Mesa, becoming sheriff after out-dueling several gunfighters in a single day. But Robles, a Mexican, seethes over the town's racism, and is warned by kindly nurse Estella (Katy Jurado) that without his gun, he would not last very long. That theory is put to the test when the new sheriff injures his wrist fighting with Ed Bannister (Peter Whitney), who upon learning about it, challenges Robles to a duel.

Audience Member Interesting if flawed low budget western about gunman Anthony Quinn saving a town from outlaws, but the towns continues to hold racist attitudes toward him being a Mexican even though he was their savior. It's a interesting twist on "High Noon" that focuses on issues of race. Although Quinn gives a fine performance, coming off "La Strada" just two years earlier, the story is awfully muddled and drags at times. Still, it is an interesting film that is worth checking out for fans of offbeat westerns or fans of Quinn. Katy Jurado is also worth mentioning, who give s fine supporting performance. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
