If Susan Heyward isn't enough to bring ya to the screen then you will still get plenty of action. Jack Elam has a peripheral part as one of the outlaws and in my humble opinion he steals, pardon the pun, the show. I have alwayd thought Power was a bit too much of an over-actor, even for the 50's, but he does a good job here, and Heyward makes all look good. She was much more than a pretty face, and her acting skills were as good as anyone in Tinseltown at the time. I love this movie for its gritty realism, it's sense of humor and danger, and for having a bit of a noir feel to it. I just can't give it more than 7 because, to me anyway, as in 9 out of 10 films from this period, the writing was just not buyable. Fortunately, in Rawhide, the acting is mostly top rate..
