, 1h34 Directed byGeorge Marshall OriginUSA GenresDrama, Action, Romance, Western ActorsGlenn Ford, William Holden, Claire Trevor, Edgar Buchanan, Carleton Young, Don Beddoe Roles Doc Rating66% Two Confederate veterans broke and homeless are making their way to Texas to start fresh. After comedic adventures getting into and out of trouble just trying to make enough move to get to Texas, they witness a stagecoach robbery and manage to hold up the outlaws and take back the cash. At that point they have a difference of opinion; the 'good' one Todd Ramsey (Glenn Ford) wants to give it back, the 'bad' one Dan Thomas (William Holden as a fresh 1941 face) wants to keep it and keep going...but goodness wins out, and both are off the hook. The honest one takes a job with the biggest local rancher (who of course has a beautiful and friendly daughter) and the 'bad one stumbles into a different kind of job—with another rancher who specializes in rustling. They both have heads turned by the lovely lady and the battle of good and evil continues in often comedic circumstances...although a showdown looms. The key to the action is the need to get the entire town/valley's cattle past all the rustlers up to the railroad at Abilene. Many twists and turns in this complicated, comedic and top-notch Western with blockbuster ending that cuts back to core of all good westerns...good men tested by difficult circumstances.
