Rating: 5/5 -- A much-loved revisionist Western, director Peckinpah's second feature film proved to be a bittersweet swan song for the Old West and a classy farewell to the screen for actors Scott and -- for some years -- McCrea. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- Symbols of a waning era who eventually clash over right and wrong, Messrs. McCrea and Scott mesh perfectly, with the latter getting the drollest lines -- and there are plenty. Full Review

Description by OLDIES.com:

Employed to guard a gold shipment from the lawless Sierra mining town of Course Gold, Gil Westrum (Randolph Scott) hires his longtime friend Steve Judd (Joel McCrea) and Heck Longtree (Ron Starr) to ride shotgun. The two, however, have less honorable plans for the gold. But both sets of plans are thrown into disarray when the men encounter Elsa Knudsen (Mariette Hartley) fleeing her violent, religious fanatic father to elope with Billy Hammond (James Drury).
