Entertainment Reviews:
There was a Crooked Man is a cynical tale of greed whose cynicism is buried in heavy handed direction and slap-dash construction.

...a solid little Western that's worth a look if only for its refreshingly cynical sensibilities.

Rating: 4/5 --
O senso de humor do filme desarma de maneira brilhante o espectador, pegando-o completamente de surpresa com o cinismo de seu terceiro ato.
Cinema em Cena
Technically, the film is near perfect, reminding us how good a Hollywood programmer can be, even at an inflated cost of seven million dollars.

If smart callousness, moral indifference and violence on the rockpile are what you are looking for, at least this ex- ample is rather conspicuously well acted.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Arizona Territorial Prison inmate Paris Pitman, Jr. (Kirk Douglas) is a schemer, a charmer and quite popular among his fellow convicts – especially with $500,000 in stolen loot hidden away and a plan to escape and recover it. New warden Woodward Lopeman (Henry Fonda) has other ideas about Pitman. Each man will have the tables turned on him.
