    Very strong performances by a cast that seemed to know the writing was very good. Vivien Leigh's face was a silent mirror as she ran the emotions of love and then horror when she knew she would be found out. Taylor gives an inspired performance, and they seemed to have strong chemistry on screen. The supporting cast was terrific. As an amateur historian, I am mystified by the terrible costuming and hair that fit the 1940 issue date, not the 1914-15 period of the story. How could all the trucks (lorries) be so right and the soldier's equipment and the men's and women's costumes be so wrong?

    I wish Vivien Leigh had made a hundred more films for us.

    I admit the prejudices of an amateur historian, but this movie stinks.

    I love Burt Lancaster and Gary Cooper, and George Macready, but the Director, Robert Aldrich, did everything to bring out their worst acting traits.

    Lancaster toothily grins at every opportunity, Cooper's muttering seems to indicate what he thinks of the film, and Macready is reduced to imitating a fop. Romero, ever the ham, fits right in.

    The weapons are all wrong, the costumes completely wrong, saddles, gear, dialogue, and the list goes on.

    I didn't like this movie when I was twelve, and like it less now.

    This movie demonstrates everything that was ever wrong historically, with a Hollywood Western. A waste of good actors.

    Brian Donlevy was at his best in this role as Walter Williams, a businessman victimized by his scheming wife and her lover. I saw this as a little boy, and even then was taken in by Donlevy's performance in scenes right after the "accident", where he is so groggy and disoriented, suffering no doubt a concussion, yet trying so hard to literally, focus himself enough to survive.

    The early scenes do go on a bit long, but they are necessary to the story, and yet with little dialogue, Donlevy carries the scenes very well.

    Mechanics coveralls never looked so good as on Ella Raines, one of the prettiest to ever grace Hollywood, and the short-lived Helen Walker is wonderful as the nasty wife.

    A very well done "Don't Miss"
