Viewing Notes
The first in a series of “psychological” westerns that Anthony Mann made with James Stewart. This is a compelling, well-made drama. Stewart broke out of his light comedy, nice guy persona, to play a much darker role.
Nice b&w cinematography with backdrops symbolizing the characters’ emotional states.
