The overall vote here at IMDb is around 7, and I think that's appropriate. I am not a huge western fan; I merely like them. Blame the typical John Wayne predictable films for this. Anyway, this is NOT your usual western! There are good guys and bad guys with quirky personalities, and more depth than you'd expect. The biggest surprise came in the role of the child. Used as a tool to evoke feelings of sympathy, she plays a truly important distraction at the end that gets you going. If you have a chance, pretend it's 1951 and enjoy it by itself without comparing to the whizz-bang of current films. Susan Hayward plays Susan Hayward, Tyrone Power plays his weak-Tyrone, and Jack Elam plays his psycho Jack Elam. By the way, read the biography and trivia for Jack Elam here at IMDb; interesting. A final note: One of my biggest movie pet peeves are six-shooters that magically hold 15 bullets-- that happens here. Ugh.
