Riding on the Wrong Side of the Law, Randolph Scott Plays a Gang Member, Bank Robber On the Run.
The Violence is Cutting Edge with Plenty of Gun-Battles and some Brutal Fisticuffs.
In Act II Scott Tries to Get Married and Settle Down.
But HIs Past and Marshal George Macready with His Relentless Posse will Have None of it.
Action-Packed with High-Contrast Cinematography Filled with Guns Blazing and Hoses at a Gallop.
It's an Energetic Entry in the Genre and the Tone Foreshadows the New Decades Dedication to Make the Western More Adult.
Not Quite Up-There with the Films Scott did with Budd Boetticher but it is an Above Average Movie.
With Help from a Good Supporting Cast....
Macready (who also surprisingly does voice-over) John Ireland, Noah Beery Jr., Jock Mahoney, and Virginia Huston.
A Big Production that Climaxes with a Massive Horse Herd Stampede.
If it has a Weakness its the Comedy Relief of Charles Kemper and Dona Drake.
The Film Pulls Few Punches and One Gets the Sense that the Approach here was to Ratchet Things Up a Notch and it Shows.
You Will Find Some Stuff You Won't See in Any Other Randolph Scott Westerns.
A Must-See for Western Fans and for All Others....
Worth a Watch.
