This movie begins with a cowboy named "Jim Douglas" (Gregory Peck) riding into the town of Rio Arriba to witness the hanging of 4 outlaws who he believes were responsible for the rape and murder of his wife 6 months earlier. Although he is treated with great suspicion the sheriff, "Eloy Sanchez" (Herbert Rudley) takes him to the jail to see each of the outlaws face to face. Right after that he encounters a woman named "Josefa Velarde" (Joan Collins) who he met 5 years earlier in New Orleans. Unfortunately, Josefa immediately realizes that Jim has changed quite a bit since then and not necessarily for the better. Not long afterward the 4 prisoners escape and Jim takes it upon himself to lead the posse in their efforts to track them down. Now, rather than reveal any more of the story and risk spoiling it for those who haven't seen it I will just say that this is a grim western which showcases the talents of Gregory Peck to the utmost. Definitely worth a look for those who enjoy a good western.
