The specialist of cheap golden gems was without any discussion Joseph H Lewis, and not only for GUN CRAZY and TERROR IN A TEXAS TOWN - and several other pictures - but for this very one too. With so few dollars, he had the ability to offer us something amazingly powerful, inventive, surprising. And more, he gives here a wondeful character to play for Ward Bond; the character symphony between him and Joseph Cotten is so riveting, far from clichés. This is not the most widely known film, or even western, known from this so unfairly neglected director, but it deserves to be watched for western buffs.
