i get the feeling that the producer of this mess be out to make the most painful and ridiculous western ever make . painful be the best word i can think of to describe it . on the plus side you have nice color photography and beautiful and well spoken rhonda fleming . my sympathy go to jacques aubuchon ( who play the cripple ) and who act well enough in an annoying role and write so atrociously that no actor could give an enjoyable performance . the production value be quite good and which only serve to highlight the terrible story and screenplay . thing i hat represent stewart granger look so little like a western figure and what with his british accent and neat tailor outfit and and silly immaculate always white kerchief tie around his neck . it get tiresome the way the townspeople and his son be constantly harangue and insulting granger and and he never speak up or reply back . i know we be suppose to suspend disbelief and appreciate western a symbolic morality play and but this one break the spell with it laughably unrealistic and predictable scene and the bad be at the end where granger miraculously and speedily and single handedly plant dynamite around a canyon pas that the bad guy cattle will pass through and and then granger plant himself in the perfect spot so he can shoot the dynamite from a very far distance to create rock slide to bury and spook the cattle and bad guy and seemingly destroy them all and save the two main bad guy . next worst be everything about the plot and which be load with soap opera scene . nothing in the movie seem believable represent i couldn not believe what all the conflict be about . the bad guy be drive his herd through to market and want the cow to chew some grass along the way while i do not see why something couldn not have be work out . you need a land ownership dispute for that . don not bother to see it .
