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?

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.
