Top CriticQuite possibly the weirdest Western ever made by a mainstream studio in the 1950s... I flat-out loved this movie.

It's about time it was acclaimed for it what it really is: a genuine western film classic.

Top CriticRay's film is not a romantic comedy, but a Western. Or is it?

Let's put it down as a fiasco. Miss Crawford went thataway.

For all its slightly tatty sets and off-the-mark decor, the film abounds in wonderful lines and acting that doesn't betray them.

Compelling, confounding and at times verging on the downright camp, this picture takes a slow- burning but startlingly vivid look at humanity in the outlands.

Joan Crawford as a gunslinger. Some of the best unintentionally funny dialogue ever.

One of those classic westerns that has maintained its status by reinventing itself every decade since its release in 1954.

Top CriticFor all its violence, this is a surpassingly tender, sensitive film, Ray's gentlest statement of his outsider theme.
