9/10
Terrific Western

Great film. Great Western. Clift is brilliant and any doubts I had about Wayne's abilities having seen only "Stagecoach" were undone here. This is a fabulous depiction of two v. strong characters. I don't understand the ending at all. I really didn't see it coming. I thought one of them was going to kill the other. Still, that doesn't undo the greatness of the pic. It is an excellent drawing of two tough ranchers. I loved the movie. Walter Brennan can do so much with just a wrinkle of his cheeks too....he was great comic relief. Excellent score too.
