A judge teeters on the brink of insanity... a town on the edge of revolt. And only one man stands between them in this powerful western featuring two of Hollywood's greatest leading men. Glenn Ford delivers a mesmerizing performance as Owen Devereaux, a sadistic Civil War vet who continues to kill for the joy of it even after he becomes a judge. William Holden is outstanding as Del Stewart, Devereaux's marshal and ex-army pal who tries to restrain the judge's violent nature. When Devereaux's psychotic behavior forces the townspeople to take up arms against him, the former friends are pited together against each other in a brutal conflict with fatal consequences. The suspense never falters in acclaimed director Henry Levin's tightly woven tale which delves into the devastating psychological effects of war. (oficjalny tekst dystrybutora)

This western isn't bad at all, and what it's about is actually very good - a hero who simply went crazy during the war. However, it's not handled well, and the film ultimately suffers from poor scriptwriting and lacks conviction in terms of acting. It's unnecessarily embellished and starts to become boring after a while. It fails to evoke the necessary emotions from you.
