I was genuinely surprised to find so many favourable reviews for this film here on this site. It is OK, but mostly just talk with little action. Sadly the lead actor is clearly miscast. Tyrone Power delivers a fine performance. Unfortunately he looks 40 years old, thus making him far older than his character who had been sent to work on the ranch by his father.
I agree with an earlier reviewer that it really should have been filmed in Technicolor - a western set in the outdoors on a ranch does not look anywhere near as good in black and white. Jack Elam dominates the film as one of the outlaws.
