109 minute running time … an unexpected surprise, this was pretty wonderful … totally gobsmacked that this was made in 1950 … Anthony Mann definitely interested in Greek or Shakespearean drama … transferred to the 1870s southwest … Barbara Stanwyck rubbing Walter Huston’s sixth lumbar, Daddy dearest until things take a turn. Desert littered with hugely erect cacti, very subtle. Only problem was my Criterion Collection disc had no subtitles so I missed a lot of dialogue, and the picture was super dark, not sure if intentional. Anyway, this is a green-go for sure, see it if you haven’t. John Farr liked it too.
