A fairly classic archetypal Western with Alan Ladd as the reluctant-hero type. I think it's mostly elevated by two excellent performances, one from Brandon De Wilde, who was only around 10 or 11 at the time, and one from Jack Palance as a villainous character who conveys so much menace despite having very few actual lines. Few performances have presence like his does. I was delighted after watching it to see that their two performances were the two to attract the attention of the Academy, as well: both were nominated for Best Supporting Actor (I probably would have given it to Palance instead of Sinatra, who won that year for "From Here to Eternity".
