Burt Lancaster’s first western and Robert Walker’s last film before his untimely death.
Not too bad. A few good bust-ups, a couple gunfights and some interesting, and surprising, plot elements for the time.

Overview
A cattle baron takes in an orphaned boy and raises him, causing his own son to resent the boy. As they get older the resentment festers into hatred, and eventually the real son frames his stepbrother for fathering an illegitimate child that is actually his, seeing it as an opportunity to get his half-brother out of the way so he can have his father's empire all to himself.

A Western family drama where resentment curdled into malice drives an escalating cycle of betrayal and vengeance. This is a character study wrapped in the trappings of a ranch conflict.
