Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Unusual Western in which the oedipal themes are writ large. Ryan's a marshall trying to keep order in a violent frontier town, but he's prey to recurring fits of blindness. Moreover, the son of a desperado has vowed to kill him, and Mayo, tired of life in a lawless backwater, won't wait for him forever. 'Scope photography by Lucien Ballard.Author: GM
