Thomas V @TomVee Jul 18, 2026 Solid dark psychological noir western melodrama, which wasn't a thing before this film. Really good performances from Stanwyck and Huston, and nicely shot. Plot's kinda convoluted, and the incestuous tinge of the father daughter relationship is a little unsettling. But overall, an interesting departure from your standard genre pictures.

Ultimately, it was nothing special and I prolly won't see it again. Watched on Epix. See more Jon T @jon_talbot56 Oct 13, 2020 Interesting that one of these critics calls this Mann's masterpiece. I think it's great too, easily surpassing the hackneyed conventions of most Westerns. The most interesting feature is to see a woman as the central character and she has to both fight her corner in a mans world and still do all the romance stuff too. I also like the way the characters are drawn and the dialogue. Plus a mention for the cinematography and lighting. It's rare to see a film where these are done well and the film isn't up to much. It's a bit like going to a pub where the beer is kept well; you know the food will be good too. See more Bill B @RT01438538 Nov 5, 2019 A rather dull western entry by Anthony Mann. The melodramatic plot concerns a lot of inconsistent personalities and their relationships in regard to taking control of a large ranch. See more Chris L @Cleroux Sep 23, 2016 Even for a modern audience, this would offer enough surprises and peculiar subtext to remain consistently fascinating. The story is engrossing and unpredictable and all the main leads are incredibly compelling, with Stanwyck's strong, somewhat androgynous performance grounding everything. At times it's funny, other moments are menacing and bizarrely sexual. It's all quite amazing considering it was released in 1950. See more Read all reviews
