The fifth and last western from the team of Anthony Mann and James Stewart. The setting is New Mexico the action is good as usual. The film has a streak of brutality particularly in the scene where Stewart gets his finger shot off.
Mann was scheduled to direct Stewart's next film about an accordion playing cowboy but complained about the script and the accordion. An angry Stewart (in real life an actual accordion player) broke off his relationship with Mann. So it goes with Hollywood prima movie stars.
Still, an excellent western. Philip Yordan and Frank Burt wrote the screenplay, The picture runs 102 minutes.
