A somewhat slow starter, once underway it is kept playing with growing interest under Nicholas Ray's firm direction.

Reviews for The Lusty Men
The punch of the film is in its details of rodeo life as it is, and for this R. K. O. and Producer Jerry Wald have a dynamic film.
A masterpiece by Nicholas Ray -- perhaps the most melancholy and reflective of his films.
