Well filmed routine story which remains entertaining till the end,because of the double antagonism :the hero VS the gangsters and the hero VS the small town :when he comes back ,the women step aside because they think that the only law he knows is the point of a gun :the only man in town who still puts his trust in him is his long-time friend, the local sheriff: it's too bad this character (James Best) should disappear so soon ,because their relationship was not too clichéed ;the same can be said of the father and the son who want to become lawmen :it's all the more disappointing since the love affair is rather bland , and the actress seems self-conscious ,particularly in the scene with the villains (Ted De Corsia ,on the other hand, is perfect). Audie Murphy is well cast as the victim of fate, the black sheep of the community ,seeking redemption.
