A great film. Nothing like an Anthony Mann Western. The scene of the doctor (McIntire) arriving DEAD on his BIRTHDAY, with a newborn baby crying on the soundtrack (delivered by the doctor) is memorable, as was the shot of Fonda coming out with a badge on him (tho technically he wasn't sworn in so he wasn't a sheriff). Was it credible that Brand would be afraid to fight skinny Perkins? Great film, except one line was missing: GEEEEEEEEE Aaaaaaaaaaaa Efffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff.
"'Tis dangerous to take a cold, to sleep, to drink; but I tell you, my lord fool, out of this nettle, danger, we pluck this flower, safety" (Shakespeare, HENRY 14 I). Fonda never looked better. Elmer Bernstein's score is a a gem. It's a pity Perkins & McIntire were not paired for another movie! (Just joking, of course.)
Many thanks to vanishingveronica for uploading this movie. It was my first western which I watched at a cinema theater in 1960. I always remember the movie title ... thanks again
A very satisfying film. Thanks for upload.

I love westerns, they're America's version of Shakespeare. Good vs. bad, love, honor, deception. All the key elements of drama.
