Viewed 27 Dec 2007 at Kinopalatsi 8, Helsinki. High profile remake of the Delmer Daves 1957 western with Glenn Ford and Van Heflin. This is quite a tough film, developing some of the oldest Western film themes that were already present in William S. Hart's "soul fights". The script is expanded with violent confrontations in Indian territory and on railway construction site. It's carried by the actors, who are good, including the supporting parts. The impact is weakened by excessive killing.
