Budd Boetticher directed a series of Westerns starring the taciturn, stone-faced Randolph Scott--- and this one is great.
Scott plays a rancher who is the only force standing between a gang of ruthless and truly bloodthirsty killers intent on kidnapping the daughter of the territory's richest man. Richard Boone and Henry Silva are two of the vicious gang, though Boone invests his vile character with a disturbing complexity. Silva--- is there a better cinema villain?--- conveys more in his swagger and sneer than most could in paragraphs of dialogue.
Maureen O'Sullivan shows the same school marm with hidden sex appeal she displayed in the Weismuller Tarzan films.
This is a pared-down, lean film with cinematography to rival any Ford film of the genre. On Criterion Channel.
