Plot

A passionate Western melodrama.

Sinekatalog’s take

King Vidor's lurid Technicolor western is a feverish, operatic melodrama of passion and violence. Jennifer Jones and Gregory Peck burn up the screen in an over-the-top, entertainingly excessive spectacle.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
