Many reviewers have commented on the brutal setting and I do think westerns many times utilize a dry desert climate as a backdrop. Whereas this film uses brutal snowfall to make the elements a very big deal.
Burl Ives beloved performer with fantastic voice is a star in this film with 1 of my favorites Robert Ryan. I am only aware of Mr. Ives appearing in 2 westerns but both were incredibly great performances. The much better know Big Country. Where I believe he won an award as a supporting actor to Gregory Peck. And this movie. He is not an individual mist would think as a western actor but. In both he was just great.
Top notch film. A real treat.
