Review :
Lancaster is terrific as a honorable and tough cowboy
The movie concerns about a baron cattle ( Ray Collins ) who takes a foreman named Owen ( Burt Lancaster ) as his own son , originating in the legitimate named Lee ( Rober Walker ) an enormous resentment for the adopted brother . An illegitimate child of Lee and Lily ( Sally Forrest ) creates more problems when the brothers ( John Ireland , Hugh O'Brian ) from her , along with a mean gunslinger ( Ted De Corsia ) are looking for revenge . Lee married to Jean ( Joanne Dru ) is seeing an opportunity to obtain his father's cattle.
The movie is a good western with extraordinary landscapes that were shot on location in natural parks of Montana and Arizona territory . The picture has action western , drama , round-up , horseman pursuits and is quite entertaining. It's the first Burt Lancaster's Western and as always , he plays a honest and upright character , similarly he played in ¨Unforgiven¨ ( John Huston ). Robert Walker is fine in his last film because being early deceased at thirty two years old , he's specially known by ¨ Strangers on the train ¨ ( Alfred Hitchcock ). George Folsey's cinematography is glimmer and colorful as is reflected on the breathtaking and spellbound outdoors , however the photography is a little worn-out. Art direction by Cedric Gibbons , he's the greatest production designer by the time and of Metro Goldwyn Mayer ( film producer ). The movie attained lukewarm reception by the public , achieved a moderated success , however a similar film titled ¨ Red River ¨ ( Howard Hawks ), also with the same protagonist , the attractive Joanne Dru , was much better as reviews as box office . The motion picture will appeal to Burt Lancaster fans and western genre enthusiasts.
