What a strange, but entertaining, western-noir hybrid. I haven't seen anything like it. Great performances from both Stanwyck and Huston, with some really weird Freudian incest vibes thrown into the mix.

I was blown away by Barbara Stanwyck. Such a complex, layered western by Mann. But I can't help but attribute a great deal of the complexity to Stanwyck's performance. Mesmerizing. Would be a great double bill with Forty Guns by Samuel Fuller.

Criterion once again does film fans a huge service by making this one widely available. This one was overlooked in favor of Mann's more famous westerns with Stewart and Cooper, but it's just as good as anything he did in those other fine films. Walter Huston is great here, as is Stanwyck and the lush photography from Victor Milner is amazing. Great western.

Quite a sturdy transition piece from Mann.

One of my favorite Westerns of all time. An absolute masterpiece.

One half western with the other half film noir; it's first western to be added to the Criterion Collection. A classic by all means and the last film for Walter Huston.

Great entertaining mad fun. Grand performances from the great Walter Huston and Barbara Stanwyck and Judith Anderson. A fast-moving treat, nary a dull moment.

beautiful to watch, wanted to love it, only liked it.. odd feeling ending felt like the film makers simply ran out of time or money.
