Rating: 4/5 --
The movie becomes a game between Mann and the viewer - how long can the filmmaker keep the supposed hero from finally doing the right thing?

Rating: 4/5 --
One of the very good Stewart-Mann collaborative westerns.
Kansas City Kansan
The final shootout probably inspired Robert Altman's McCabe and Mrs. Miller, taking place in the dark, on the ground and crawling in the mud -- purposely clumsy and unheroic.

Product Description:
One of the best Mann/Stewart Westerns of the '50s with a refreshing Yukon setting. Stewart drives cattle north on an arduous trek to Alaska. When he reaches his destination, his pay-off for his trouble is double-cross and violence.
