  • "The third and arguably the best of five westerns (the others being Winchester 73, Bend of the River, The Far Country and The Man from Laramie) that Stewart made with director Anthony Mann between 1950 and 1955. This tense psychological western features the actor in an uncharacteristically nasty role as a obsessive, bordering on psychotic, bounty hunter tracking a murderous outlaw (Robert Ryan). Unable to capture the outlaw alone he enlists the help of an old prospector and a dishonourably discharged cavalryman. Though they succeed in catching the outlaw who, they discover, is travelling with a female companion, he creates an atmosphere of intense psychological warfare by playing the ill-matched trio of opportunists against one another. Shot entirely on location in the Colorado Rockies near Durango the film features breathtaking mountain scenery - snowcapped peaks, waterfalls and green forest - not usually associated with the western genre."@en

  • "A bitter Howard Kemp heads westward to the Rockies from Abilene, Kansas on the trail of murderer Ben Vandergroat and the $5000 reward on Vandergroatś head, money after which Kemp lusts in order to re-purchase the ranch that his absconding fiancée had sold during his stint in the army. Kemp unexpectedly crosses paths with an old, star-crossed gold miner, Jesse Tate, and with a recently-discharged soldier of questionable repute, Roy Anderson. Teaming up, they nab Vandergroat and his girl, Lina Patch, but Vandergroat tries to turn his three distrustful, avaricious captors against each other during the return trip."
