Randolph Scott becomes a marshal during the Oklahoma land rush, and faces an all-star gathering of bad guys. Robert Ryan as the Sundance Kid stands out as a sadistic, mean-spirited murderer. A little too much time is spent on Scott's love life, with a young and lovely Anne Jeffreys as an outlaw turned straight and the prim and proper Jacqueline White both vying for his affection. Gabby Hayes is miscast as a banker, but does don the more familiar cowboy outfit towards the end. An atmospheric shoot-out in a ghost town and cobwebbed saloon is well-done, but it takes a long time to get there.
