Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: One of those classic westerns that has maintained its status by reinventing itself every decade since its release in 1954.
Fresh: For all its violence, this is a surpassingly tender, sensitive film, Ray's gentlest statement of his outsider theme.
Fresh: Ray's film is not a romantic comedy, but a Western. Or is it?
Fresh: For all its slightly tatty sets and off-the-mark decor, the film abounds in wonderful lines and acting that doesn't betray them.
