Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBarbara Stanwyck's stunt woman refused to be dragged by a horse, saying that it was too dangerous. Without further ado, Stanwyck did it by herself. She got some bruises and scrapes, but was okay. At that time, she was 49 years old.
- GoofsWhen the gunsmith is fitting Wes for a new rifle, he is holding the stock from a model 1898 Mauser, which would not be invented for another 20 years. Wes also picks up a Winchester and looks through the barrel to see the lady gunsmith, which is not possible due to there being no straight line of sight through the action.

Featured review
Barbara Stanwyck (hard as nails) plays a powerful rancher with political ties near Tombstone whose hired hands, mostly crooked and lead by her own brother, bring her together with Barry Sullivan of the U.S. Attorney General's office, out to arrest one of her boys for robbery. Surprisingly brutal and adult western from Globe Enterprises and distributed by Twentieth Century-Fox, written and directed by Samuel Fuller as if he were trying to find a place for every western cliché in the filmmaker's manual. Joseph Biroc's moody black-and-white cinematography gives the proceedings an intensity that elevates the script, even as Fuller's staging--particularly the gun-blazing confrontations--typically run the gamut from florid to outrageous. Sullivan is sturdy (and colorless) as usual; Stanwyck has this type of role down pat. **1/2 from ****
