USA 1955
Will Lockhart (Jimmy Stewart) is a typical Anthony Mann protagonist - a
mysterious loner, who is on a mission. He delivers supplies to pretty,
girl-next-door type, Barbara Waggoman (Cathy O'Donnell who does play the
girl next door in William Wyler's "The
Best Years of Our Lives"), a storekeeper, in isolated Coronado,
which is deep in savage Indian country. Will is persistently in search of the
gunrunners who supplied rifles to Apaches. He blames them for the death of his
brother and some of his fellow soldiers. Ruling over Coronado are Barbara's
despicable father and psychopathic and vicious son Dave who is barely kept under
control by the adopted son Vic (Arthur Kennedy). Will's patient, yet
single-minded mission is escalated to an even stronger vengeance when he is
deliberately shot through the palm of his hand by Dave.
Once again Mann creates a classic tale of the old West with complex characters
and rugged, primitive justice. Will Lockhart is a strong man - not looking for
trouble, but certainly not afraid to confront it. This, Anthony Mann's fifth and
final collaboration with Stewart is another quintessential revenge story with
beautiful New Mexico vistas as the backdrop. My favorite's include
Winchester '73 and The Naked Spur
but this is close behind.

Excellent image
from an older Columbia Tri-Star (when they seemed to care). Tight
widescreen with some good film grain showing. No commentary and only a
trailer as an extra, but I recommend this disc. It is proceed well and
the film and image are reproduced extremely well.
