I had never heard of Director Alfred E. Green but nothing green about his direction. This is a mature look at a man's conscious decision to commit robbery and what he does to appease his conscience and rejoin society as a normal, law abiding citizen.
Although not an actor of the highest caliber, and certainly not a very versatile one, McCrea plays himself and I certainly feel privileged to watch him every time. He appears here alongside his real life wife Frances Dee (their marriage lasted 57 years).
The would be criminsl played by McCrea does not have that many enemies, although half the town is after his blood. Rather, he is fighting his own conscience and this is a movie about redemption. He achieves it by assisting a Mexican family dying of diphteria - a touching sequence redolent with humane touches and credible selflessness.
Unique, must-see Western
