COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Pretty bad, not a classic. submitted by Tassos on December 20, 2019, 9:59am Worthless, obsolete POS. Why did they bother to make this STUPID dvd????

Don't believe the other review submitted by TrD on September 13, 2023, 8:03am Not worthless at all. It is a strange, eccentric Western by B-movie auteur Sam Fuller, featuring the great Barbara Stanwyck as a powerful land baron.
