Western. Drama In this film more is said with just one look than in 100 cute one-liners. An Indian policeman travels by stagecoach and encounters more than his share of trouble. Filled with hard looks, calmly delivered threats and lots of gun play. There are also women involved.

United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"Ritt directs with a steady hand, and the dialog by Irving Ravetch and Harriet Flank bears listening to. It's intelligent, and has a certain grace as well."	POS
United States	Variety Staff Variety	"Paul Newman is excellent as the scorned Apache. Fredric March, essaying an Indian agent who has embezzled food appropriations for his charges, also scores in a strong, unsympathetic"	POS
United Kingdom	Time Out	"One of Ritt's best films, with fine performances all round, impressive Death Valley locations, and superlative camerawork from James Wong Howe."	POS
United States	Bosley Crowther The New York Times	"All the people are fine in their roles and the whole is tremendously engrossing without being importan"	POS
United States	TV Guide	"It's an extremely violent and brutal film, featuring a fine performance by Newman"	POS
