A tough, hard-driving business tycoon suffers a broken leg and is left to die in the desert by his scheming wife and her greedy lover.
Tough Noir drama in broad daylight with a host of disagreeable characters (Robert Ryan is excellent) is straightforwardly told to its bitter ending and offers some great desert set pieces along the way.
Halliwell**: "An outdoor melodrama which made better use of 3-D than any other film, suggesting the lone handicapped figure in the vast spaces; but the lovers are dull and the fire climax perfunctory."
Maltin**1/2: "Good desert sequences."
