After his family is murdered in the 1880s, orphan Jeb Rand is raised by the Callum family on their nearby horse ranch. He remains haunted by this childhood trauma in a recurring nightmare of flashing spurs and confinement inside a trap door as his family is slaughtered. Widow Callum does her best to make Jeb feel loved as he is growing up, but the young man stubbornly maintains a sense of his own identity. While he has great affection for his foster-sister Thor, his relationship with her brother Adam is tenuous at best, especially when Jeb blames him for shooting a colt that he was riding. Although Mrs. Callum blames the incident on deer hunters, she is aware that the it was actually the attempted murder of the youngster by her brother-in-law Grant, a shadowy figure who, for vague reasons, is determined to harm Jeb. Jeb loses a coin flip with Adam, and becomes the designated family volunteer to fight in the Spanish-American War. Jeb returns a hero, but does not find happiness. ...
后面更加精彩，尤其是妈妈演技，无法正视过去自己的情感，不过女儿情感转变又太突兀。
老剧情
演妈妈的这个演员（朱迪丝·安德森 Judith Anderson）演得真好，三个小朋友也演得好。
重温老电影，重回少年时！
Western noir先驱，剧本配不上风格；这片近些年存在感快要不如Blood on the Moon了，要怪就怪拖后腿的剧本。这部为Mitchum的经典银幕形象奠定了雏形，游走在灰色地带，内心暗流涌动，像是藏着深不可测的黑洞。他让Teresa放下枪那段真的很有张力。（以及，Mitchum的更多阿卡贝拉在Rachel and the Stranger里。）
看似每个角色都很悲惨，但细想一下就难以引起任何同情。怎么和《阳光下的决斗》一个德行。
剧本很无聊，倒叙插叙过于直接懒惰，中段节奏也不好。特蕾莎的表演风格太过时了，甚至有些搞笑。沃什还是很棒的，反复出现的一双马刺靴和闪光好美
找不到资源的电影
有些像Wuthering heights，血液中有种不安分的因素。
够黑的黑色电影
一般
总觉得差了点什么
一堆好演員攤上一個弱智的劇本
冲 罗伯特·米彻姆看的
遗珠之作，披着西部片外衣的黑色电影，或可反过来说，在影史中实属罕见。全片带有浓厚的精神分析，童年阴影一直在笼罩，被这个噩梦攫住而挣脱不得，可惜像这样题材联姻的片子太稀有，尚有很大挖掘空间。
