Solid western directed by Delmer Daves. It tells the story of a cowboy named Jubal (Glenn Ford) who is hired by rancher Shep (Ernest Borgnine) and catches the eye of Shep's young wife (Valerie French). This doesn't sit well with Pinky (Rod Steiger), who works for Shep and has been having an affair with his wife.
Essentially a western reworking of Othello with Ford as Cassio, Borgnine as Othello, French as Desdemona and Steiger as Iago. The leads are all terrific. Fine direction, script, music, and beautiful Wyoming location shooting. Nice supporting cast includes Charles Bronson, Jack Elam, Noah Beery Jr., and Felicia Farr. A very good western from a decade full of them. Definitely recommended.
