This film is a western and a drama at the same time, which contains many morals. The first is that bravery is not necessary to publicly be expressed in acts of violence. Personal achievements are better to keep and not brag about them. The fight and disagreement between two people should not be transferred to the family and community level. They must be resolved between the two involved. Love should not be confused with pride. The film shows how the most economically powerful tries to reduce the poor, aspect not much delved in this film . Gregory Peck acted at highest level, Jean Simmons quite similar. Charlton Heston did not convince, Carroll Baker showed her acting skills. Burl Ives was the efficient as always.
