have no illusion and this be a morality story . granger be the troubled ex buffalo hunter and tempt back to the plain one more time by kill craze taylor . granger can see the end be near and and feel deeply for the cost of the hunt on the herd and the indian and the land itself . taylor and on the other hand admittedly equate kill buffalo and or indian to be with a woman . while granger role of the tortured hunter be superb and it taylor who steal the show and a the demented and immoral everyman out for the fast buck and the goodtimes . there not a lot of bang bang here and but the story move along quickly and and we be treat to a fine character performance by nolan . the theme of this story be just a poignant today and a in the 1800s man relationship to the land and what on it and and racism . consider when this be make and the censor must have be wring their hanky during the scene in the bawdy house and taylor relationship with the squaw and and much of the dialogue . although downbeat and this be truly a great western picture .
