I usually find Randolph Scott to be a bit lightweight but he's on top form in this classy revenge western. He plays bounty hunter "Ben" who apprehends "Billy John" (James Best) for murder. He is taking him to town for a reckoning, but what he really wants is to capture that man's even more murderous brother "Frank" (Lee Van Cleef) as he has some old, visceral, scores to settle. En route he rescues the feisty "Carrie" (Karen Steele) from an attack by quite an eccentric group of Indians and alights on "Sam" (Pernell Roberts) and "Whit" (James Coburn) to help give them a fighting chance against the certainly pursuing sibling. Now I don't suppose there's loads of plot jeopardy here, but the story unfolds gradually and effectively and Van Cleef was always in his element in these kind of roles. Budd Boetticher also doesn't let this hang around. It's barely seventy five minutes long with a minimum of slushy romance and plenty of shoot-outs before a denouement that was entirely fitting - if perhaps a little too rushed. This is certainly a great example of the less s more film, and well worth a watch on a big screen if you can - the photography is well worth looking at on a grander scale.
