Audie's best Western. He made many great ones, but this stands above all. Everyone wonders why notorious hired gun John Gant's in town, but he ain't sayin'. Charles Drake befriends him. Edgar Stehli tries to kill him. Warren Stevens is afraid of him. Joan Evans yells at him. Philophical, incisive and suspenseful, with Audie's superbly laconic perf leading a strong cast, this exercise in guilt and paranoia is one of the unknown gems of the 1950s. My #4 film of '59. "Everything comes to a finish."
