Shot in CinemaScope, and with a cast of Robert Ryan, Lee Marvin, and Ernest Borgine and a Cannes Award winning performance by Spencer Tracy. The first 'western' shown in competition at Cannes.
The fight scene between Tracy and Borgine is cinema history.

I missed this post and showing on Film4 but found it elsewhere, as I like these old tough guys, especially Lee Marvin. -Superb in Cat Ballou. Anyway, nice to see it again.
Film scored by a 25 year old André Previn.
