This is a great Western and fun to watch. I liked the new version infinitely more. But if you want to wear your spurs and eat some popcorn on a lazy afternoon this movie fills the bill.

Excellent treat for true lovers of the genre!

Having seen both the new version (With Russell Crowe) and this one...I have to opt for this original version. It isn't the best western I've ever seen, but it's is nowhere near the worst. Yes, it's not as vivid due to being in B & W. But the storyline is a good bit better, IMHO, and not tio give anything away, I prefer the ending over the ending of the remake. Even with very few props Glenn Ford is charasmatic and frightening all at once. Van Heflin is the same scared, but resolute farmer that he plays in "Shane". And he brings off the every day guy that is doing what it takes to take care of his family. If you want to see a movie that was meant to entertain see this one. If you don't get enough tragedy and grit in your daily life, the remake is the one you want.
