| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzA superb psychological Western directed by Russell Rouse. |
| User ReviewClayton TGlenn Ford is excellent as the reluctant gunfighter with a past that just can't stay there and Broderick Crawford is always a fine choice of a villain you hate from the moment you see him. If you are a Glenn Ford fan or looking to start viewing westerns then this is a must do |
| User ReviewNorm RI would like to own this motion picture. When I was a boy sitting in the Lido Theatre back home, I was entralled with this story. It stuck with me all these years. |
| User ReviewPrivate UA tale of a man running from the demons of his past. An excellent performance by Glenn Ford. One of the classic westerns. A must see for any fan of the genre. |
| User ReviewJason KThis was a good ole gunslingers ball, with only two throw downs. I loved it, only watch if you like classic westerns. |
| User ReviewJackson SThe original secret bad ass movie. Another fantastic Glenn Ford western. |
| User ReviewJayesh NBut there is always one who is faster. And he'll come looking for you one day. To find out for himself. And to prove everyone wrong. Good western. In black and white. |
| User ReviewWill SOne of Glenn Ford's best performances, and without it, could not have pulled off the complex psychological subtext Rouse had in mind. Great cult movie, and you just got to love the title. |
| User ReviewNicolas AVery entertaining and very memourable. Portrays pretty well the terror of facing another man in a gun fight. Great performance from Glenn Ford, and Broderick Crawford is suitably menacing! |
| User ReviewAnthony PA great western and the first Glen Ford movie I have watched |
