Plots(1)
The first collaboration between James Stewart and director John Ford produced this thrilling and darkly complex Western that easily ranks among Ford's best work, yet remains one of his most overlooked. Stewart plays gloriously against type as Marshal Guthrie McCabe, a cynical and amoral U.S. Marshal assigned to trade guns with the fearsome Comanche in exchange for hostages, with the promise of a large reward if he is successful. McCabe and old friend Lieutenant Jim Gary (Richard Widmark) set out to track down the Comanche and their captives, with tragic consequences for all involved. (Eureka Entertainment)
