It has an all-star cast, an absorb- i ing love story and trigger-quick | action permeating every reel of its’ | fast-moving narrative. | Burt Lancaster and Robert Walker | personify the conflicting forces in |a two-fisted tale of two foster- | brothers who have grown up to- | gether on a prosperous Colorado cattle ranch of the early West, with Lancaster playing Owen Daybright and Walker seen as Lee Strobie. Owen has gotten the irresponsible | Lee out of scrapes since their child- hood days and, when the latter gets | Lily (Sally Forrest), a local waitress, i into trouble, Owen attempts to pre- vent Lee's wife, Jen (Joanne Dru) from discovering the truth. He also interferes with the attempts of Lily's avenging brothers to track down their sister’s seducer. Lee, however, jealous of the friendship between his wife and fos- ers that Owen is the man they are after, and the story’s exciting climax takes place amid scenes of tense gun-play and a spectacular cattle round-up, ending with Ower’s vin- dication. Much of the distinction /£, this | super-Western is due to its { .ne act- ing portrayals. Lancaster gives impressive performance as the virile Owen, always ready to back up hi: | sense of justice with his fists Walker, usually seen as the jovial hero of light comedies, proves him- 1 self equally convincing as the ne'er- | do-well Lee. Joanne Dru is excel- lent*as the disillusioned wife and Sally Forrest offers a warmly sym- pathetic portrayal of the abandoned "Lfly4 VISITOR FROM TTLE C. N.
