A female saloon owner clashes with locals who suspect her involvement in a stagecoach robbery. Meanwhile a mysterious guitar player arrives in town. Joan Crawford and Mercedes McCambridge, who notoriously feuded behind the scenes, face off in Nicholas Ray’s boldly subversive western.
“Four stars. A cheap Western from Republic Pictures, yes. And also one of the boldest and most stylized films of its time, quirky, political, twisted.” – Roger Ebert
