Featured review
BOLD & BRUTAL...STAND-OUT WESTERN...DRAMATIZES DIVISIVE CIVIL-WAR TRAUMA
One of the Many, Many, B-Western Movies Cranked-Out in the 1950's.
Yes, there were Many. But Few Rise to the Level of this Outstanding Adult Look at the Ongoing Aftermath of the Civil-War.
It Still has a Lingering Residue Staining Otherwise Decent Folks.
The Villainous Gang of Displaced Southerners have Lost Everything but the Closeness of Family.
They are On-the-Run Avoiding Capture for Bank-Robbery.
While "Going to Town" for Water a Spontaneous Encounter Leads to an Accidental Killing that Fuels the Fire that is Simmering Everywhere.
A Good Cast with John Payne an Ex-Union Officer and His Wife Ruth Roman.
The Leader of Rebel Family is J. Carrol Nash in one of Better Roles.
But an Unlikely Western Hero is Ruth Roman, and with the Help of an Intelligent Script Steals the Show.
As the Conflict Unfolds there are Chilling Scenes Not Often Found in Fifties Films.
One of the Better Unknown Westerns.
A Sleeper Waiting to be Discovered as an Anomaly in an Avalanche of Lesser Westerns.
A Genre that Proliferated the Period with Mediocrity.
Definitely Worth a Watch.
