The underused Dan Duryea plays Ahab in the old west. It's a quick, invigorating film about squatter's rights, but the force of the acting and really striking story structure (how many movies form the '50s opened with a huge action sequence?) are unique and wonderful. It's just what I love in old westerns: an emotional, oddball little film which gives you a few great actors in fun roles (Keenan Wynn has a hook for a hand!).
