Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Wayne Morris starred in a number of fine westerns over the years and is best remembered today for a fantastic performance in Kirk Douglas' Paths of Glory. This film finds the under-rated actor out west once again in a father vs. son western showdown.The fine cast includes the great Myron Healey, whose face is instantly recognizable to most western TV and movie fans. The plot is interesting, with the family dynamics showing that dysfunctional families existed in the 19th century-- just as today ! Wayne Morris does a very good job here..... It is unfortunate that he never landed the one big role that would have best showcased his acting chops. This one is good, slightly above your average sagebrush saga. Enjoy !!
