    Well-done psychological study
    Ahead of its time story relying on psychological impact of stress on a sherrif trying to take a prisoner back for trial. Little shoot-em-up, lots more dialogue.

    Bill Conrad, while still Matt Dillon on the radio, plays a thoroughly different character on the big screen.

    I've liked this movie since I first saw it. It really stuck to my memory.
