Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsWhen John Stewart and Wick Campbell have their showdown, John draws and fires his revolver. There is the sound of a shot, but Stewart doesn't actually fire the weapon. He never cocks it and the hammer never moves in order to discharge a round. Also, there is no muzzle flash or gun smoke.
- Quotes
John Stewart: You know, Campbell, you're not thinking straight. Since you became a big man, you have the idea that everything should be done the way you want it, and that's dangerous. Better straighten yourself out before someone does it for you.
Wick Campbell: You, Stewart?
John Stewart: Possibly.

Gritty and attractive Western about a peaceble rancher forced to defend himself against hired killers
Things go wrong when John Stewart (Randolph Scott) gives refuge to Wick Campbell's girlfriend ,Maria Segura (Donna Martell) . As his ward seeks protection with rival cattleman John Stewart , then land baron Campbell (Richard Boone)turns against him . As Stewart being forced to protect his family , property and cattle . Stewart is obligated to guard his woman (Jocelyn Brando) , brother (Lester Matthews ) , nephew (Skip Homeier) and friends . Then the jealous cattle baron hires a motley group of gunslingers to help him seize power in the territory. Later on , he and his men pin Stewart and a few others down in a house apparently killing them . But Stewart has escaped and returns alone to rid the town of Campbell and his men.The life and death of a reign of terror ! Ten times bigger than ever before ¡
This stirring fare deals with the classy confrontation between a successful cattle baron and a pistol-wielding landowner determined to ruin him . Standard tale with better than average interpretation from Randolph Scott and Richard Boone . Although the incidents move slowly , at times , it contains noisy action through well-trodden pastures , and there's plenty of fire-power and go-riding . Agreeable story in which Richard Boone gives the best acting as an embittered , jealous rancher called Wick Campbell who rustles Stewart's cattle, murders his brother and brings as hired guns to ten outlaws . In the character of Corinne shows up Jocelyn Brando , Marlon Brando's sister, she makes one of her rare screen interventions . And the bad guys and good guys include a whole crop of familar faces you love to see . As good guys appearing pre-McCloud Dennis Weaver , Skip Homeier , Clem Bevans , Kathleen Crowley ,Tom Powers , Minor Watson and bad guys intervine Lee Van Cleef pre-Leone , Leo Gordon , Denver Pyle , all of them bite the dust .
Including a brilliant cinematography by Wilfrid Cline , being well filmed in brilliant Technicolor . Shot on location in Sonora desert ,Tucson Mountains ,Ironwood Forest National Monument, Arizona , Sierrita Mountains , Silver Bell Mountains, Reymert, Cochran, Arizona and Lone Pine, California . It contains an atmospheric and thrilling musical score by Paul Sawtell . The motion picture was well produced by the notorious duo : Harry Joe Brown/Randolph Scott, both of whom produced various prestigious Westerns for Bud Boetticher . The flick was decent and professionally directed by Bruce Humberstone who worked on several silent movies and he was able to make all kinds of genres without problems . He is known for making a lot of Charlie Chan /Warner Oland films as Charlie Chan at the opera , Chan at the race track, Charlie Chan in Honolulu , Charlie Chan at the Olympics . He directed Westerns as Ten wanted men, Lucky Cisco Kid ; Musical : Iceland, Hello Frisco; Comedy :Wonder man , Tall dark and handsome ; Noir film as Hot Spot and Aventure : Tarzan and Lost safari, Tarzan and the trappers, Tarzan fights for his life , King of the jungle and The Purple Masked . Rating: 6/10 . Enjoyable and acceptable Western .
