Viewing Notes

surprised to find this Blu on the shelf at my library. I like Robert Ryan here as the “too rough for the city” cop so send him to the country to assist in a manhunt. Ipa Lupino is fine but held back by her character yet still has some soft and affecting moments with Ryan’s tough exterior. Also, I like that it’s filmed on location in Colorado.
