Description

A landmark western cast in film-noir shadow, and the first of Anthony Mann and James Stewart's celebrated collaborations, which reshaped the genre with moral and psychological depth. Stewart, moving into darker midcareer roles, plays a vengeance-driven marksman whose stolen rifle spells death for everyone it reaches as it passes from one ill-fated owner to the next.

Description

Anthony Mann's landmark western — the first of his celebrated collaborations with James Stewart — follows an avenging sharpshooter whose prized Winchester rifle is stolen and then passes from one doomed owner to the next, leaving death in its wake. Stewart, beginning his midcareer move into edgier roles, is joined by Shelley Winters, a sensationally sleazy Dan Duryea and a pre-stardom Rock Hudson in an elemental tale of violence begetting violence that recast the frontier as a no-man's-land of antiheroes and villains.
