A mysterious outsider (Alan Ladd, pictured right with Brandon de Wilde) helps protect a family of homesteaders. |
Reviewed by Chris Tookey
|
| George Stevens's influential western has a convincing feel for place and period, a splendidly laconic performance from Jack Palance, and a charismatic hero in Alan Ladd (though he does look a bit small to be beating up the baddies quite so easily). At times it is slow and pompous, but it has a mythic grandeur which places it in the top flight of westerns. Loyal Giggs won an Academy Award for his cinematography. |
