“He stalked him... fought him... befriended him... but in the end he knew he'd have to kill him !”
Audie Murphy is again the kid who puts on a badge to catch the bad guy, skillfully played by Barry Sullivan. On the way back to town the two develop a curiously close relationship - Sullivan passes up several chances to get away - but in the end Sullivan "asks for it" and Murphy obliges.
A classic Western that feels like a dusty, sun-baked road. It's a quiet, character-driven journey exploring duty and the unexpected bonds formed in harsh landscapes. The mood is stoic, with a touch of melancholy.
