Curiosidades
Directorial debut of Ray Milland.

Pifias
Set in the 19th century but an aircraft's vapor trail is visible at one point.

Citas
Dr. Mason: Gil, doctors take an oath, as well as Sheriffs. And there's a reason for both.
Dr. Mason: One has to do with saving lives - no matter what I think about a man. That's why I told them he has yellow fever.
Dr. Mason: The other binds you to uphold the law, by due process. To protect an accused man against illegal violence no matter what you think of him.
Dr. Mason: It's a principle that's more important than that man, or Nadine, or me, or Nadine.
Dr. Mason: You can't give him to that mob.

Edgy, Downbeat Western with a Good Cast, Atmopherics, & Sharp Dialog

After Winning the Oscar for "Best Actor" for the Cutting Edge Film about Alcoholism, "The Lost Weekend" (1945), Ray Milland went on to have a Long and Varied Career in Film and Television.

This B-Western made at "Republic" Studios (one of their last) was His first Try at Directing. He went on to Direct 3 other Movies, the Best is "Panic in the Year Zero" (1962), about the Aftermath of a Nuclear War.

This is an Offbeat Western. The First 30 Minutes has Milland's Gunslinger on the Run in the Desert and there is No Dialog. This First Act Sets Up the Bleak Tone of the Film as there is much Suffering and Brutal Displays of the Harsh Desert and a Stage Coach Massacre (with a not often shot of a bloody murdered little girl). This is Adult Stuff.

The Film has Noirish Claustrophobic Tendencies, Mob Mania, and Rich Folks as Super-Baddies. Almost Everyone in Town, it seems, has been Corrupted by the Harsh Realities of the Desert and the Clan of Outlaws Running Things.

Ward Bond's Speech to His Daughter (Mary Murphy) about just how Bad Things were when She was a Little Girl and Lost Her Mother is Heartbreaking and Profound.

Bond is accompanied by Lee Van Cleef and Raymond Burr and that gives this Western Shades of Film-Noir, as does the Desperation and Wholesale Corruption.

Overall, Mary Murphy is Stunning as a Smart and Beautiful Young Woman, Van Cleef is Menacing, and Burr is Burly and Scary. Above Average Western in Color, but Not CinemaScope with a Good Cast, Good Story, and Milland's Direction is Edgy at times.
