Brett Wade (Rory Calhoun) - gambler, gunslinger, and classical pianist, is wounded in a gunfight with the Ferris clan (Stanley Andrews, Lee Van Cleef, Skip Homeier and Richard Garland); the doctor (Roy Roberts) finds signs of tuberculosis. En route to Colorado for his health, Brett stops in Socorro, New Mexico along with Ferris gunfighter Jimmy Rapp (Alex Nicol), who is intent on killing Wade. Sheriff Couthen (Edgar Buchanan) fears another shootout, but what Brett has in mind is saving waif-with-a-past Rannah Hayes (Piper Laurie) from a life as one of Dick Braden’s (David Brian) saloon girls.
Enjoyable taut and nicely done Technicolor Western with Rory Calhoun in his best role. Beautifully shot and atmospheric.
“He lived on borrowed time...borrowed kisses...and a way with a six-gun that was all his own!”
