Reviews (1)
I can't help it, but the movie just didn't grab me in any way. It didn't captivate me, and it didn't entertain me, even though it's a western. I guess I'm just more accustomed to a different kind of drama, or rather, I prefer different types of dramas. Kirk Douglas was great, and so was the whole gang of guys. Hawks also has this in better films, though.
