  • "This is a fine example of the noir sensibility of the forties crime film carried across genres (see also Blood on the Moon). There is a strong sense of fatalism in the story of Jeb (Mitchum) haunted by memories of events in his childhood which seem linked to the vengefulness shown towards him by the family that adopted him as a child. Only when Jeb starts to act to unravel his past do these memories begin to lose their grip. If this was not the first 'psychological Western', aided by Howe's sombre images, it was certainly the first to achieve such a level of psychological intensity."@en
