Both men have blood on their hands over the woman's eventual suicide. Allison and Kimbrough, wracked with guilt but boiling over with bloodlust, are set to face off for one final confrontation.

  • I've always loved Randolph Scott westerns. There was just something about them. It was Randolph Scott!
  • @davegauvin7234
    Another BEAUTIFUL Movie with Randolph Scott in it. Thank You.
  • Every Budd Boetticher western with Randolph Scott (I think there are seven) is a winner. This one is no exception. Boetticher was a terrific western director.

    I've seen this movie a couple times before and it still hasn't lost it's appeal for me. Great acting and a great plot. Love old westerns.

    Walked through an old cemetery in Charlotte,NC today. Very surprised that Randolph Scott is laid to rest there.
  • @paulstark6818
    Can't go wrong with R S and a cast like this I've watched this at least 3 times thank you for this great movie ❤❤❤❤❤
  • @Roshand-pl9tn
    Very under rated film. It never makes a top ten greatest western of all time. Scott's best performance by far. Please dont let this great film die.
  • That final epilogue by the Doc really cemented the humanity and impact of that one day in that lost town.
  • @solanaceae2069
    Great old film. Seen it dozens of times. Still worth watching again.

    Much as films like Ride Lonesome and Comanche Station are lauded as the best of Randolph Scott’s later films this has to be one of his most compelling characters. A man seeking revenge for a mistake he made and the man he seeks it against not really to blame but is a bad person negatively affecting the town and its people. Also interesting is that at the film’s conclusion the protagonist is left a wreck of a human being. A tragic story given more depth by Scott’s portrayal.

    I love Noah Beery Jr. In everything, even as a bad man, he is still kind and respectful to all in his gang or whatever. And Randy, nothing needs to be said!
  • @facelikedog
    You know your millennial grandkids are on the right track when you suggest these movies and they get back at you saying they love them. That they beat the new age trash hands down.
  • @johnfun3394
    You would do it for Randolph Scott! Greatest line ever. Blazing Saddles.

    Preacher also played Fred Rutherford (Lumpy's dad) in "Leave It To Beaver" 60's series. Another good one!
  • @CaptainNavman
    Randolph Scott was one of the 2 best western stars.
  • That's a pretty harsh story right here. In superb theatrical presentation for the era which does have some proper gems. Stars. Directors don't dare stick to the script the way this one did, nowadays. It's good for the spirit to see some Texas tall tale on occasion. Standing tall, I mean!
