A Woman Wronged...A Man to avenge her !...and he rode south to do it!.Her honor cried out for vengeance...and he rode South to get it for her!
This enjoyable film contains noisy action , formidable villainy , go riding , relentless chases , and gorgeous Arizona locations. A paronamic western , being first screened as a 3-D movie ; as the plot is plain and simple, dealing with a Civil War veteran pursuing the bandits who kidnapped his beautiful bride-to-be. This movie has a compelling combination of fine performances , intense drama , crossfire and spectacular outdoors . Director Raoul Walsh aims for psychological realism with a contemporary treatment and about an avenger who becomes leader of a trio of desperadoes . A blending of talent actors with great leading players of whom Phil Carey holds the best character as a cruel villain who'll stop at nothing to get his purports . The hothouse plot drives mercilessly forward with action , shootouts , thrills , attacks and turns . The tale is strong one and the yarn is marvellously located against a background of Arizona mountains . Very good main cast , standing out Phil Carey as a ruthless nasty outlaw , Rock Hudson as the stubborn pursuer and Donna Reed as the lady in distress . Support cast is frankly well , such as : the always great Lee Marvin , Leo Gordon , Neville Brand , Roberta Haynes and uncredited : John Dierkes , Pat Hogan , Mel Welles and Frank Fenton .
The motion picture was competently directed by Raoul Walsh . From his starts in the silent cinema he achieved successful films until the 50s and forward , early 60s , when he was less dominant , but is still stayed lots of lusty adventure , stories of comradeship and friendship , and Raoul Walsh usually makes the most of plentiful action scenes . Walsh was an expert director of all kind genres but with penchant for Western such as ¨Colorado territory¨ , ¨They died with their boots on¨, ¨Along the great divide¨, ¨Saskatchewan¨, ¨King and four queens¨ , ¨A distant trumpet¨ , ¨The Sheriff of Fractured Jaw¨ ; Adventure as ¨Thief of Bagdad¨, ¨Captain Horatio Hornblower¨, ¨World in his hands¨, ¨Blackbeard the pirate¨ , ¨Sea devils¨ ; Warlike as ¨Objetive Burma¨ , ¨Northern pursuit¨, ¨Marines let's go¨ ; and Noir film as ¨White heat¨, ¨High Sierra¨, ¨They drive by night¨, ¨The roaring twenties¨. And this acceptable ¨Gun Fury¨, rating : 6,5/10 ; fairly straightforward movie and passable Western adventure . This decent Western film will appeal to Raoul Walsh enthusiasts.
