Review

A star rating of 4 out of 5.

Tony Sloman

Director Budd Boetticher and executive producer/star Randolph Scott made a short cycle of westerns, unequalled in their classic simplicity but underappreciated on their first release. This is one of the best, with a finely tuned Burt Kennedy screenplay that doesn't waste a moment as craggy-featured bounty hunter Scott goes after a young killer (the giggling James Best), ostensibly for the cash reward but really to flush out his brother, the snarling Lee Van Cleef. This is fine western material, with chases upon chases and brilliantly taut, terse dialogue. The use of CinemaScope is exemplary, and watch out for James Coburn's movie debut as a feckless outlaw.
