Viewing Notes

A really solid anti-rascist neo-western set in some nothing of a town called Black Rock in the American west. Spencer Tracy is excellent, and there are some nice turns by Ernest Borgnine, Robert Ryan and an especially evil performance by Lee Marvin.

Very ably directed by the famed John Sturges (The Magnificent Seven, among many other great movies).
