This movie is surprisingly gritty for a '50's western. Infidelity, drunkenness, questioning the meaning...
And Victor Mature. There are just some people who grab your attention on screen, and while he hams it up a bit, he's charismatic.
In fact the entire cast is top-notch. James Whitmore, a barely recognizable Anne Bancroft, etc. Before I knew it was Robert Preston, I was saying "That kind of looks like Robert Preston". Not the kind of role he became famous for.
The scenery is eye-catching, the plot moves along and it's just a generally interesting movie of the kind they used to make. Much better than I was expecting.
