this be a very good 1950s western and one of the good one i have see in a decade which feature that genre on screen and on tv . it certainly have three big actor on the marquee represent glenn ford and barbara stanwyck and edward g. robinson . it turn out that ford be the star of this film while the other two star be in support role . ford have the bulk of the dialog . he also be the good guy while robinson be the bad guy and stanwyck be twice as bad a robinson . she play the real heavy in this film and the character she play be a little too contradictory at time . ford handle his star status very ably and a he usually do especially in western . he play a nice guy who do not want to fight and be a peaceful man . but if you push him . look out . the story have a nice mixture of action and lull and not overdo either . it have an expansive western set which be put to good use with the cineamascope widescreen . it also feature realistic people in a realistic setting . that credibility with the character and especially the support player and be most impressive . the men way out shin the woman in this film and acting and character wise . dianne foster and may wynn be weak the only negative of the production . it easy to see why these two actress never become star . even though it be over 50 year old and this western be one you would still find fast enough move to enjoy and no matter how old you be or what youre use to see . for classic film fan and this be almost a must with this cast and good story . highly recommended .
