    Gregory Peck gives a performance of characteristic dignity and grit in this simmering western about the stark realities of frontier life. Having been forced to go for his gun by a barroom braggart, gunslinger Peck rides off to a neighbouring town to visit his estranged wife and son, only to find his presence resented by the locals and his life threatened by the brothers of his latest victim. Veteran director Henry King expertly strips away the glamour of the gunfighter to reveal a lonely man who regrets his past, but knows that killing is his only future.

    An under-rated classic

    Think of classic westerns and this film deserves to be regarded as a classic.

    Jimmy Ringo is a gunman, sick of having to prove he's a top hand.

    He wants to 'retire' and go straight but the punks won't let him...

    Skip Homeier, the archetypal punk of 50's films is the guy you love to hate and Millard Mitchell's Marshal Strett is the man who shows him what the future has in store.
