Ratings and reviews

A truly stunning movie and a western classic. Peck as always owns the screen with an incredibly powerful performance, combined with terrific acting from the rest of the cast, wonderful directing and cinematography, and a brilliant score.

Quality viewing. Don't seem to make movies of this caliber any more.

A decent movie well worth the watch.
