I saw this movie in 1956 when I was eight. I liked the story a lot: the coward who relied on his brother, and then had decide to either stand on his own two feet or tuck tail and run off. I really enjoyed the ending, and at eight years old, found no flaw in the film. I've wanted to see it again, but hadn't found it anywhere. I did another search and found it on Dailymotion today and just now finished watching it again. The amazing thing is that after seeing it once 67 years ago, the film is just as I remembered it.
I suppose it is a bit hard to believe that a town would give things to Concho out of fear for his non-resident brother, but I also think it's believable that people didn't want to have the brother show up and have Frank start pointing fingers. I especially liked the way the town pitched in to help after Concho made his decision on how to deal with the William Conrad character.
I'm not a film critic, but I thought the acting very good. I consider a cast of Frank Sinatra, Phyllis Kirk, William Conrad, Willis Bouchey, Keenan Wynn, Leo Gordon, Claude Akins, and Strother Martin (bit part) pretty good for a 1956 B&W Western.
