I could never think of Dick Powell in a western, I knew him from a musical (42nd Street), comedies and as a director. But in this film he comes out well in the main role as Haven. He plays it as a Dashiell Hammett type of hero, like Sam Spade of "The Maltese Falcon", like Humprey Bogart in the West. The whole film follows the same style, including Jane Greer as Charlie, the beautiful villain. If you want to know what Burl Ives looks without a beard, here is your chance. He is the hotel clerk who creates the appropriate ballads. There is also Agnes Moorehead, an attractive woman (she was 48) , as the mine owner. The film requires an extra effort to follow the story as everything happens very fast.
