Some heavy hitters in this western from RKO... Robert MItchum, Walter Brennan, Robert Preston, and a 25 year old Barbara BelGeddes. Even the director Robert Wise won oscars for biggies like West Side Story and Sound of Music. Garry is a drifter, who comes into town to help his friend Riling (Preston). there seems to be a land war brewing between Riling and local Lufton (tom tully). Garry thinks he's on the right side, but in this one, it's hard to tell who's right and who's wrong. and there are secrets boiling under the surface that nobody knows.. when some of these secrets come out, there will be even more arguments and gunfights. (if that's possible!) according to the trivia section, H Hughes canned BelGeddes right after this for not being sexy enough.... i would say she was TOO refined for westerns... her clothing, manners and speech are so smooth and gentle, it's actually hard to believe she's a woman living on the frontier. she was quite sexy, but so gentle and finished. i would have expected the women to be a little rougher to survive. it's okay. nothing too grand, even with all those big names.
