stark western, 12 September 2001
Author: shoshone from London

This Western is persistently harsh and downbeat. Although I think it was good vehicle for Audie Murphy in that it was a departure from the 'kid/gunman' role, I cannot say I enjoyed this one too much. A point of interest is that it depicted his character as having to fight for his life from beginning to end, which is something he had to do in real life and which, therefore, made his anxiety and struggle more believable. I love Audie and he looked good in this, as always but I would need to see it a few more times to appreciate it, I guess.
