After robbing a Mexican bank, Dad Longworth takes the loot and leaves his partner Rio to be captured but Rio escapes and searches for Dad in California.
Superior Western offers a psychologically complex revenge story with great performances and beautiful cinematography, but is not always coherent in its characterizations, and the romance is not quite convincing.
Halliwell (no star): "Grossly self-indulgent Western controlled (unwisely) by its star, full of solemn pauses and bouts of violence."
Maltin***: "Fascinating but flawed psychological Western...Visually striking, and a rich character study, but overlong."
