Impressive performances from the top four actors--Susan Hayward, Robert Mitchum (one of his best roles), Arthur Kennedy and Arthur Hannicut. The film is very well made except for one too many rodeo sequences. Nicholas Ray does indicate where his heart lies--for the poor who aspire to be financially secure and lead a good family life despite temptations.
