United States	Bosley Crowther The New York Times	"The gritty aspect of the ranching frontier, the tough, robust nature of its people, the touchiness of the mystery are all well and tensely brought together within Mr. Huston's crunching scenes"	POS
United States	Variety Staff Variety	"Audrey Hepburn gives a shining performance"	POS
United Kingdom	Kim Newman Empire	"Still underrated - not least because Clint Eastwood borrowed its title - this unusual, suspenseful Western is one of John Huston’s most satisfying Hollywood films"	POS
United Kingdom	Time Out	"The film is sadly flawed by its stereotyped depiction of the Indians"	NEU
United Kingdom	Tony Sloman Radio Times	"Superbly photographed by Franz Planer and with a fine Dimitri Tiomkin score, this film deserves to be better known (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Andrea Gronvall Chicago Reader	"John Huston and Burt Lancaster clashed over this 1960 western—the director wanted to emphasize the psychodrama, the producer-star needed a genre hit—and their differences are evident in the movie's erratic tone"	NEU
