Not all men are motivated by money.

I love the beautiful snowy mountain scenery. It was a great film to watch in the winter as this band of convicts escape a posse in a blizzard over a pass.

The band of miscreants comes upon the most idyllic mountain village filled with nothing but women.

Four of the convicts think one of the convicts killed a man and stole $40,000. They also think he has it hidden and they want it. His story is very different and that is why he was heading to this settlement near lake El Diablo...to find the man who testified against him, Rudy.

He clashes with Gene Tierney, who plays Rudy's soon to be wife. It's a race for some to save Rudy, one to kill Rudy and for four...to get the money.

This was an interesting film that was really well acted. Gene Tierney is gorgeous and has the most amazingly tiny waist. Glenn Ford makes a great lead and an interesting grey character. He is wonderful opposite Gene Tierney...they make a wonderful and attractive pair.

This was a great film and I highly recommend it for fans of both vintage westerns and film noir.
