Cagney was about 56 when he made this interesting western. He was a bit long in the tooth, but his vitality showed through his wrinkles and the result was a pleasing picture.

Mr. Cagney's performance, as usual, is cocky and colorful without a great deal of substance or strenuous sincerity.

Top CriticRay's sensitive handling of actors and his exact compositional sense are as much in evidence as ever.

An intriguing low-key western.
12/06/05
Ray endows it with his usual themes of generational conflict and societal injustice, and does a powerful job getting these themes across.
