a man have be pursue all his life but do not know why . the film open with mitchum pursuer close in on him and wright come to his side . he relate the story of his life to her and see in flashback . it be strange that he tell her the story because she have be a part of his life since childhood . this bizarre film be unlike any other western and and be really not a western in the traditional sense . mitchum and wright be ok but the character be not well develop and their motivation be unclear . walsh enliven the action scene but can not rise above the disjointed script and not help by the awkward storytelling structure .
