Plot Summary

Widower Lee Hackett (Van Heflin), a cattle rancher who is a product of the old west, tries to bring up his two sons, Ed (Tab Hunter) and Davy (James Darren), in his image, but Ed is wild and unruly. The two brothers are both attracted to Clee Chouard (Kathryn Grant) but she prefers Davy. Ed's efforts to outshine his father and brother and everyone else lead him into a career of a gunfighter, and a confrontation with his father. Written by Les Adams

Trivia Tab Hunter always felt that this was one of his best films because it allowed him to show that he was a talented actor and not just a pretty face. He was also able to use the superb horsemanship he had developed over many years of riding, jumping and working with horses, both recreationally and in competitions. See more »
Goofs When Lee Hackett leaves town, chasing after his jailbreak son, Ed, he is riding a "right-maned" horse. When he catches up with Ed, he is on a "left-maned" (different) horse. See more »
