Plot
A sea captain in a feud between ranchers.
Sinekatalog’s take
William Wyler's widescreen western pits two feuding ranchers against a peaceful newcomer. Gregory Peck, Charlton Heston and Burl Ives are fine, and Jerome Moross's score is justly famous.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
