This odd western from Gun Crazy director Joseph Lewis has become something of a cult classic over the years.
The story sees whaler Sterling Hayden, whose vital fluids will later be stolen in Dr. Strangelove, return home to take revenge on the oil baron who had his father killed.
This is a true B movie so don't expect great performances but Hayden, with his 6' 5" stature and incredible voice, has real presence.
Sebastian Cabot does fine as the towns oligarch and Ned Young is his leather gloved killer.
The film's most notable for it's high noon with a harpoon showdown at the end.
It's not going to knock your socks off, but it's something fun to watch on a wet afternoon.
