In his later films Robert Walker was becoming increasingly cast as a black sheep. This time he's bad news as the foster brother of Burt Lancaster who gets the two of them embroiled in a bitter squabble with two other brothers played by John Ireland (who's saturnine presence - along with Joanne Dru - further stokes memories of 'Red River') and a young Hugh O'Brian over the paternity of their sister's new addition to the family.
The outcome can be guessed by anyone who's seen 'Gunfight at the O. K. Corral', set against an incongruously picturesque Technicolor backdrop which provides a very rare opportunity to see Walker in colour.
