Yes. It was released in 1950 and just look at it. Look at the faces, Joel McCrea and his tough humanity, then, Dean Stockwell, oh Dean Stockwell! Talk about humanity! Juano Hernandez is, once again, at the receiving end of injustice - remember him in the wonderful "Intruder in the Dust? And he is a standout. This is the kind of film that you just have to let it happen. Abandon yourself to it and I can assure you, you will feel uplifted. Director Jacques Tourner of "Out Of The Past" and "Cat People" fame frames it in a way that makes it inclusive and compelling. Thank you to TCM, this an example of a gem I would have missed if it wasn't for the Turner Classic Movies channel.
