Modern-day pulp Western, hard-boiled to suit the modern-day taste, concerning a one-armed war veteran (Spencer Tracy) bringing to light the deep dark secret of a sun-baked desert town. Director John Sturges's resourceful use of the then new Cinemascope format nicely captures the arid spaciousness and siesta atmosphere of the setting. With Robert Ryan, Ernest Borgnine, Anne Francis, Dean Jagger, and Lee Marvin. (1954) — Duncan Shepherd
