I thought i’d enjoy it more since it’s a Lang film, however this film shares almost none of that anxiety and surveillance suspense seen in some of his earlier works. It’s very apparent this film has been heavily included by the American Golden age, overall though it was simple and to some extent enjoyable.

The only one of these Lang-directed Westerns that actually makes sense as a Fritz Lang production. Definitely need to revisit because I didn't really know where it was going, but the technicolor is gorgeous. Though if anything it just kinda made me want to rewatch Johnny Guitar.

The Italians are much better at the ‘western’ song ngl

Ridin'. Robbin'. Shootin'. Killin'. Lovin'. Everything a good western needs. The budget made them film a lot of outdoor scenes on indoor sets but the result is some beautiful Technicolor matte paintings and backdrops. Good stuff.

A unique setting with a quite interesting premise. As with all Lang movies I’ve seen the cinematography is very good. The movie is very different from the usual western and feels more like noir, which makes sense, based on the director. Wouldn’t say I was very invested in the story, but I was surprised how well it was made and there’s definitely some really good moments scattered throughout. 

Overall,
Brilliant premise with a strange concoction of elements that works surprisingly well. Really like the cinematography and the movie is engaging at times. Worth checking out.
