Veteran bounty-hunter Morg Hickman rides into a town in danger. The sheriff has been killed, and young inexperienced Ben Owens named a temporary replacement until a permanent can be found. Ben wants to be that permanent replacement, so needs to impress the townspeople with his skill.

Morg thinks that being a sheriff is a foolish goal, but agrees to instruct Ben in handling people, more important to a sheriff than handling a gun.

| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzPerkins in an audition for his Psycho role. |
| User ReviewIrvin CMy further exploration of the filmography of Anthony Mann continues on with this TRULY remarkable film. I can't believe it isn't more popular. A young sheriff gets lessons in gun play and justice from an ex-sheriff-turned-bounty hunter. Henry Fonda and Anthony Perkins are wonderful together. Exciting scenes are coupled with tackling themes of proper justice, racism and sexism and they're interwoven beautifully. It's got everything a great Western should have and MORE. I couldn't recommend more highly. |
| User ReviewxGary XIt really was weird seeing Anthony Perkins play a sheriff. |
| User ReviewChrisanne SA very solid Western movie with two good performances from the main actors. I am a big fan of Anthony Perkins and after reading his book I really appreciated him as a person and not just an actor. You can see why he wasn't so popular and why Psycho and Norman Bates were always going to be Anthony Perkins crown achievement. He was more of a theater actor rather than an actor and you can tell from watching a couple of his movie that he always plays the shy boy/man even when he doesn't want to. I enjoyed his character here though, a new sheriff who has not been wearing the badge for too long. People not taking him serious until a bounty hunter (The late great Henry Fonda) shows up with a dead wanted man to collect his reward. He then stays around with a lady that has an half Indian son (which back then was a crime). The story is really good and Henry playing the mentor, teaching him how to stand for himself will always be a good story to watch, we see it in many movies and it's always interesting. Henry has a great presence on screen and i count him as one of the best actors that ever worked in Hollywood up there with James Stewart. |
| User ReviewJimmy MOne of Mann's best westerns, which is saying a lot. Tale of a bounty hunter training young sheriff(perkins) how to do his job. Fonda is good as always as the man with the moral code. Perkins is equally talented as the inept young sheriff. |
| User ReviewMax NOtro de los impecables westerns de Mann. Injustamente pasado por alto, al ubicarse justo en el medio de la saga con James Stewart y la culminacion del periodo con "Man of the West". Una obra mas bien claustrofobica y psicologica, que hace mejor uso de los interiores que de los espacios abiertos, fotografiados en un contrastado y profundo blanco y negro. Momentos de gran tension y explosiones de accion de la buena, destacando en todo momento el pulso firme del director. Grandes interpretaciones de todo el reparto, con un primerizo Anthony Perkins y la figura gigante de Henry Fonda, llena de sabiduria y dignidad. Solo un romance algo forzado no la coloca en un podio superior. Buenisima. |
| User ReviewColin GGood, solid, moralistic old time western with a reluctant gunfighter and all. |
| User ReviewErin GI'm not a big fan of westerns in general, but there are a few I appreciate that have a little more to them than just gunfighting and barfighting. "The Tin Star" is one of them. Henry Fonda and Anthony Perkins both give good performances as the aging bounty hunter and the temporary sheriff, respectively. The story is interesting and the script has humor, especially from Fonda. Overall, a good western. |
| User ReviewBrian MGreat flix. Fonda as a Bounty Hunter and Perkins as a tenderfoot sheriff, and Fonda teaches Perkins how to be a smart,tough, and expirenced sheriff/gunfighter. I am really surprised this hasn't been remade. |
| User ReviewEm WAnthony Perkins. The King of smirky grins and awkward moments. |
