Synopsis

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.

Critics' reviews

"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."

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"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"

Variety Staff: Variety
"All the people are fine in their roles and the whole is tremendously engrossing without being importan"

Bosley Crowther: The New York Times
"It's an extremely violent and brutal film, featuring a fine performance by Newman"

TV Guide
"One of Ritt's best films, with fine performances all round, impressive Death Valley locations, and superlative camerawork from James Wong Howe."
