8/10
Pretty great late Western from Nicholas Ray that manages to be both conventional and very avant-garde...the dueling female protagonists (one excellently played by Joan Crawford) was an interesting, unique touch. The color in this movie is absolutely screaming, and many of the scenes manage to look more like paintings than anything else. Sterling Hayden is a little stiff as the titular character but he's still fun. Shame this is (last I checked) unavailable on any region 1 DVD. I'm not sure where the print I downloaded came from but it's beautiful.
