| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThough Fred MacMurray gives a good performance, he's too old for the part. |
| User ReviewPaul DLikeable Fred MacMurray vehicle despite the ordinary story. |
| User ReviewThomas BVery well-directed film with nice, deep space compositions, long takes, nervous editing and a noirish and baroque finale set in an abandonned saloon. Fred MacMurray is quite good as he often is playing against type. |
