Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Wallach as the vengeful Vacarro plays it to the hilt. Malden is cast to perfection and turns in a socko performance.

fresh:
One of Elia Kazan's most underrated movies is his only pure comedy.

fresh:
The grotesquely caricatured performances and the evocation of the baking, dusty, indolent homestead make for witty and compelling viewing.

Mr. Kazan keeps the courtship bouncing between the emotional and the ludicrous.
