From Universal International Pictures shows this thrilling and exciting Western with great cast, lots of action, duels to death and suspense that cuts like a whip. It deals with Jim Slater, Richard Widmark, who seeks a survivor of an Apache massacre and while he meets a beautiful wife : Donna Reed, looking for his husband. Slater is a gunslinger out to find his father's killer. Along the way, he faces off hard-riding outlaws, Apache raiders and he becomes involved into a range warfare between two land barons, John McIntire and Roy Roberts. Was the sixth man the secret to the five empty graves?.. The answer waited in a woman's lips and watched from the shadows of a frightened town!
Nice western with a twisted and complex plot by the prestigious and Western expert Borden Chase. Well financed by the notorius producer Aaron Rosenberg who also produced the succcesful James Stewart Westerns as Winchester 73, The far country, Bend the river, Night passage. This is a tough and certain winner John Sturges Western with touches of mystery and suspense to find out a real culprit. It includes good helpings of ordinary gundown, Indian attacks, ambushes and anything else. The screenplay is unusually well worked-out for an oater, delivering interest and entertainment enough. It packs one or two first-rate twists and surprises in the closing reel. Finely starred by the two-fisted Richard Widmark playing in his usual style and co-starred by the gorgeous Donna Reed. Being very well accompanied by an awesome support cast such as : William Campbell, John McIntire, Henry Morgan, Barton McLane, Robert J Wilke, Roy Roberts, Edward Platt, among others.
Filmed in brilliant technicolor amid the grandeur and espectacle of high sierras. This busiest western was well directed by John Sturges, though it is inferior than his other Western entries. Sturges was a good director who shot some nice and classic Westerns, such as : The Walking Hills, Gunfight at OK Corral, The magnificent seven, Escape from Fort Bravo, The law and Jake Wade, The last train from Gun Hill, Three sergeants, Halelujah trail, Hour of the gun, and a semi-western : Bad day at Black Rock, among others. Rating 6.5. Decent Western that will appeal to Richard Widmark fans. Well worth watching.
