This film about the feud between a megalomaniac rancher T.C. Jeffords(Walter Huston) and his daughter Vance (Barbara Stanwyck) is an recent but generous western. Jeffords and his daughter have a complex relationship with even a hint of the sordid that had to remain unstated in 1950, when this film was made. In middle age T.C. takes a wife, Flo (Judith Anderson) . Vance sees Flo as a threat to her relationship with Daddy, and in an mad moment hurls a pair of scissors at Flo’s face. In revenge T.C. kills someone who means a tall deal to his daughter, the squatter Herrara (Gilbert Roland) .

From this moment forward the battle between father and daughter shifts from being one of violence to one of wits. Wendell Corey plays Rip Darrow, Stanwyck’s treasure interest in this film. He hasty finds that as long as Daddy is alive that he will always reach in second. Daddy has ownership of all of the emotions Vance has to give - both like and loathe.
This film is basically a film noir played out on a Western landscape. It is often “Mourning Becomes Electra” from the father/daughter angle versus mother and son. Directed by Anthony Mann, maker of the thinking person’s Westerns, it is a shame that Walter Huston did not live to inspect the release of this - his final film - in which he gives so enormous a performance.

This is a really moving film, despite the fact that Leonard Maltin only rates it two and one-half stars. The acting and cinematography are obedient. Maltin finds it talky, but I can’t entirely agree. It’s actually a paraphrase of the O’Neill drama Mourning Becomes Electra. The supplementary material included is genuine.
