henry hathaway make so many and such a variety of film and that when he do something outstanding like this western and people be kind of anesthetized and do not give it the value it deserve . garden of evil have a great story and great actor and and a fabulous scenery . not even anthony mann achieve this perfection of blend scenery and story . the story be about three men and cooper and widmark and mitchell which be on a steam ship that break down and have to be fix on the coast of mexico and at a time where there be no panama canal and and they have to pass through cape horn and so the pacific coast be kind of unreachable and mysterious . there and while they have to wait and they be hire by susan hayward to free her husband stuck on a gold mine on a territory full of apache . they all desire the gold and also the woman and and she use her power of seduction to command them . when they get to the place and which be call garden of evil and and realize that they might not come out alive and each one make a choice about high or low value . there be an impressive fight between mitchell and cooper where mitchell be repeatedly throw into the fire . rita moreno in a small part where she only have a chance to sing half of two song and be breathtakingly beautiful . susan hayward be excellent and hathaway be able to bring out the best in her a he do in rawhide . one of the best line be when cooper say to hayward refer to her husband and that what count be what one do and not what he speak . this film should be on any list of the all time best western .
