A portrait of storytelling made for and by the Silent Generation, an audience all too familiar with the world's spooky, white-knuckled moral twilight.

Stephen Garrett, Time Out New York
Rotten

That the climax fizzles must be laid on doorstep of Halsted Welles, who adapts Elmore Leonard's story quite well until that point.

This is a first-rate action picture -- a respectable second section to High Noon.

Bosley Crowther, New York Times

It's of necessity a talkative film, with Ford working on Heflin's nerves in a stream of Machiavellian banter, but one held in perfect balance by Daves, who keeps the tension strung taut.

Tom Milne, Time Out

Despite an abundance of talk, this 1957 film is often considered [Daves'] best.
