Where Fritz Lang makes a technicolor western that is apparently a sequel to the previous year's Jesse James. Certainly an odd film for Lang to make, not much of his style is apparent here and honestly feels more of a "for hire" job for a generic studio film over anything else. I like Fonda and the rest of the cast, but I think the script paired with Lang's disinterested direction makes for a largely weak, if not curious, entry in his filmography.

“If we are ever going to have law and order in this part of the country, we got to take vipers like those Fords and that slimy railroad detective Runyon and shoot 'em down like dogs.”Henry Fonda supremacy!
Looks pretty good and while certain aspects of the story is intriguing I just found out that this is a sequel.. which makes sense since there was definitely some aspects I didn’t fully comprehend. I’m not watching anymore of this.. I’m not that invested in this story.Overall,
Decent I suppose.. But I will forget about this film in like a week.

One of the rare occurrences when I have actually enjoyed a western
Also Gene Tierney and Henry Fonda's mustache!
