Review

A star rating of 2 out of 5.

Adrian Turner

Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray, the doomed lovers from the classic Double Indemnity, are reunited in a western that was originally released in 3D. Niven Busch - the writer of Duel in the Sun and the deeply Freudian western The Furies - came up with the weird plot of a cattle rustler (MacMurray) who escapes a lynch mob and robs a bank. His former girlfriend (Stanwyck) gets herself deputised and sets off in pursuit. The title derives from the notion that rustlers work only in moonlight.
