Maverick director Sam Fuller‘s final western from 1957 puts a feminist spin on the genre by casting Barbara Stanwyck as a rancher who rules her corner of Arizona ruthelesly with a posse of hired guns. Until, that is, lawman Barry Sullivan turns up with a warrant for the arrest of one of her men.
Superbly shot in monochrome CinemaScope, it’s all suitably pulpy and hard-boiled with no shortage of double entendres.
