Slow moving but well-acted and Cooper and London have unexpectedly great chemistry

The cast is magnificent, the character's are interesting, and there's some beautiful shots happening here and there, but the story, though fine, really didn't warrant such a slow pace; there are some incredibly boring stretches.

Incredibly cinematic in its presentation; there are so many great shots and moments. The script/story however is a dime a dozen.

It makes use of all the western clichés in such a masterful way.

Goddammit this is boring. Reginald Rose and Lee J. Cobb followed up 12 Angry Men with THIS?!

Very good "adult" western (meaning stuff that they wouldn't show on TV). Definitely see this one on the big screen if you can

A pretty dark western for its time and very well plotted. Even with an idea of how things will turn out it's still pretty tense and Cooper does a good job creating a complex character. Also have to throw in a mention for the great shots.

It's a little simplistic in its good vs. evil themes... oh, they try to make it look like Gary Cooper is conflicted, but you know all along he's a good guy and he's going to do the right thing. It's odd to put Julie London in a movie, label her character as a singer, and not even give her one tune. She's got a great set of pipes (and a great set of, ahem, something else) so let her use 'em. But it's an entertaining flick, and I've fully warmed up to Gary Cooper.

Sorry Jean-Luc Godard, it's just not that great.
