Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
A somewhat slow starter, once underway it is kept playing with growing interest under Nicholas Ray's firm direction.

fresh:
The punch of the film is in its details of rodeo life as it is, and for this R. K. O. and Producer Jerry Wald have a dynamic film.
– Bosley Crowther,
New York Times,
25 Mar 2006
fresh:
A masterpiece by Nicholas Ray -- perhaps the most melancholy and reflective of his films.
– Dave Kehr,
Chicago Reader,

fresh:
The story isn't much (the security of family life versus the rootlessness and danger of working as a rodeo rider), but the situation is rich in emotional resonances which Ray conjures into life convincingly.
