a fine western that be good than i expect it to be . alan ladd and although sometimes wooden put in a good performance here . the cinematography and the colour process of this movie be outstanding . this western have a few good plot twist to make it stand out . the location scenery be stun too . alan ladd have something of a mystery persona here not unlike his role in shane . the colour in this movie be very vivid and lifelike not at all garish a i think they might be . this western have good support act too and charles bickford play his part with ruthless relish ala big country . robert keith be a shady slime ball who demise in the film be very fitting . this be an out and out satisfy western and one i can thoroughly recommend .
