Gregory Peck as a rancher pursuing the gang that killed his wife. When they're arrested and awaiting execution for an unrelated crime, he heads to the town to witness the hanging, but the men escape and head for Mexico.
Written as an attack on McCarthyism, but it doesn't question the McCarthyites' sincerity or intentions.
In most westerns and American movies in general, each town has a single generic Protestant church everyone goes to. People are often very religious but have no specific beliefs. In this movie, everybody's a Catholic. The enormous church has a large boys choir played by Ninos Cantores de Morelia Chroral Group.
Gregory Peck, Joan Collins, Lee Van Cleef, Henry Silva. Directed by Henry King.
