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.

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

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

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.
