Robert Ryan, Ernest Brognine, and John Ericson run the more conventional outlaw gamut, from ruthless leader to respectively brutal and sensitive followers. As the garrulous doctor and the besotted law officers, Walter Brennan and Dean Jagger convincingly exhibit the weaknesses which prevent either of them from acting against his criminal neighbors. A near catastrophe to the film's carefully constricted tone occurs when Anne Francis, as fresh and unnatural as a desert mirage, enters the scene.

Norma is on stage-and singing-for almost two hours, or long enough to satisfy the heartiest spotlight appetite. She ranges the emotional gamut from mother love to infanticide. Best of all, the part is almost impossible to sing, and few of today's voices can both spin the intricate tracery of its high coloratura and belt out the chesty low tones...
