Cult hero Samuel Fuller wrote
and directed this visually inventive western, which didn't fare well with
American audiences but earned a potent reputation with European cineastes. Jessica
Drummond (Barbara
Stanwyck) is a despotic landowner who, with a posse of hired guns, has made
herself the law of Cochise County, Arizona, with the weak-willed sheriff Ned
Logan (Dean Jagger)
knuckling under to her demands. One day, Griff Bonnell (Barry Sullivan),
a one-time gunfighter turned United States Marshall, arrives with his brothers
Wes (Gene Barry)
and Chico (Robert
Dix) to restore democratic law and order to Cochise County. Griff soon
tangles with Drummond's brother Brockie (John Ericson),
though Jessica is attracted to the new lawman, and Griff finds love with female
gunsmith Louvenia Spangler (Eve Brent). Griff
and Louvenia marry, but on their wedding day, Brockie murders Wes, and Griff,
who takes pride in the fact that he has never fired his gun since becoming a
marshal, must now break his vow of non-violence. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
