One of Stewart's best tortured performances, showing his dark side. A must-see for Stewart buffs.

Wonderfully intense psychological Western built around a simple story of greed and the chance to start life over again after failure.
07/01/05
In this taut revenge Western, from Oscar-nominated script by Sam Rolfe and Harold Jack Bloom, Jimmy Stewart gives one of his best performances, revealing a darker facet to his screen persona that only a superb director like Anthony Mann could bring out

Mann never failed to deliver an astonishing ending to his Westerns, but this is one of his best.

...an engrossing little film that doesn't flinch from showing us the worst in people, including the hero.

This 1953 film has Janet Leigh in jeans, beautiful location shooting (and Technicolor cinematography) in the Rockies, and some of the most intense psychological warfare to be found in [director Anthony] Mann's angular and anguished oeuvre.
