This movie made me sick when I saw it on TV many years ago. Jeff Chandler's character is decent, a guy you don't want to see taken down? He says to Fess Parker's character, regarding the way he treated the man's dead (at his hands) wife, "To me, a good woman is like a good bottle of wine: once you've used it up, you throw the container away." He goes through women like kleenexes and disposes of them with less mercy. He took the man's wife, seduced her, then killed her when he got bored with her.

This is decent?

Fess Parker's character likes him?

There is no reason for Fess Parker not to kill the disgusting creep on sight.

But maybe the people who praise this movie also agree with that characterization of women.
