| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzHighly inaccurate biopic on legendary Texas outlaw John Wesley Hardin. |
| User ReviewZoran SExcellent Anti-Western directed by the Master Raoul Walsh starring the Great Rock Hudson as one of the most tragic Western Characters ever in a Minor Role shines Lee Van Cleef |
| User Reviewjay nDecent if a bit overdone western competently directed by Walsh. Hudson, right on the cusp of big time stardom with his next film Magnificient Obsession, is solid in the lead. The always reliable Julie Adams is fine if stuck with the thankless part of the whore with a heart of gold who is redeemed by the love of a man. John Ireland appears in a dual role, he's fine in the one, the trusted uncle and a bit much in the other as Hudson's father although with the purple prose he has to deliver who can blame him for trying to make something out of it by going over the top. |
| User ReviewAndy PThe plot was good, the performances were so-so. |
