Plot:
"Sometimes I like to sit outside, by a window, and listen to music... like now," says Jimmy Stewart, sitting outside no where near a window, with no music being played.
It's a very decent Western. Parts of it seem superfluous, and the second string acting is sub-par, but James Stewart is tip-of-the-hat good, as usual. For a better use of the Anthony Mann and J. Stewart one-two punch, watch Winchester '73.
My very first James Stewart movie. I was seven since then, I guess I have fallen into the tender trap that time...
James Stewart plays a bounty hunter in this dark and exciting Anthony Mann western. By the 50s, the times had changed and so had the genre.
Another bracing western from the James Stewart/Anthony Mann stable sees Stewart as a rancher forging an uneasy alliance with an old prospector and an AWOL cavalry officer to bring outlaw Robert Ryan in dead or alive for the reward money. Stewart is one of the best when it comes to playing tough guys with a streak of vulnerability, and there's some great psychology at work; Stewart's crisis of conscience accentuated by Janet Leigh's divided loyalties and all the while, Ryan is constantly using mindgames to set the trio against each other. I could have lived without the schmaltzy soundtrack, but otherwise, quality stuff.
Good western. James Stewart is almost better than ever. The camera shots and the development of the story work perfectly.
