Plot here has Confederate veteran Jeff Waring (John Ireland) arriving in Independence, Missouri shortly after the Civil War, and intending never again to use a gun. He finds that rancher Artemus Taylor, an arthritic despot, and his henchies, Sam Tobin (Lawrence Tierney) and Cree (Jack Elam), are forcing out the settlers in order to claim their land for the incoming railroad. The plot nearly predates "The Great Train Robbery" in age but the gritty execution and well-acted performances take it out of the norm...way out, in a couple of instances. Brassy Myrna Dell is on hand as Taylor's independent daughter, only slightly less meaner than her father, and the always welcome Dorothy Malone is the pretty school marm on the side of good. Needless to say, Ireland's passive outlook on life changes before the end.This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.

Reasonably good transfer of a good story. July 2, 2008

Standard story - Man returns from Civil War seeking peace and becomes involved in range war. Result - Good guys win. Not so much the story itself as the character developement which holds my interest. I always thought that John Ireland was under-used since his bravura performance in "Red River". I found that his differences with a director caused him to be relegated to mostly "B" pictures and perhaps a fine career was nipped short. The rest of the cast turns in well-thought out performances and makes for a very entertaining presentation. The DVD cut is not the greatest in the world but is reasonable for the price. I have no regrets at this purchase and would recommend it to others. Again, there is no close-captioning and that can detract from the enjoyment of the movie.
