Underrated western with Dick Powell playing an undercover government agent investigating the murders of two soldiers. Beautiful saloon singer Jane Greer catches his eye but it turns out there's more to her than at first appears. Plays out more like a detective movie than a western. Powell and Greer are great. The supporting cast includes Raymond Burr, Agnes Moorehead, Tom Powers, Regis Toomey, and Burl Ives as a singing bartender. Pretty good lineup. The script is nice with some punchy dialogue that helps an otherwise routine western plot. There's a pretty good fight scene between Powell and Guinn Williams. All in all, it's a briskly paced western with a lot going for it. Worth seeking out.
