Description:
When a flood of lawless gunmen invades his once peaceful town, Marshal Cass Silver (Ryan) knows it?s up to him to force them out. But the only chance he might have is to gain the help of a gunslinger named Thad (Hunter), who wrongly believes the Marshal is responsible for his father?s death. To save the town, Silver will have to earn the aid, and trust, of a man sworn to send him to his grave!

The main draw (and quick draw) of this 1956 Western is the marvelous presence of Robert Ryan in the lead role. This underappreciated actor plays a Kansas marshal with a history of perceived cowardice in his past. Everything comes to a head in a single week: a cattle drive ends in town, bringing shootin' and hollerin'; Ryan's nemesis, a casino-runner played by veteran bad guy Robert Middleton, arrives to soak the suckers; and young hotshot Jeffrey Hunter, whose father was killed by Ryan, arrives with revenge on his mind. Oh, and Ryan himself begins to suffer from blinding headaches. Despite the crowded plot, the results are Fifties Western boilerplate, with few distinguishing features beyond the cast. But the supporting ranks are crowded with essential horse-saga actors: Walter Brennan, Arthur O'Connell, Rodolfo Acosta, and of course the bearded, lizard-eyed Middleton. Virginia Mayo plays Ryan's hotel-keeper ladyfriend. Ace cinematographer Lucien Ballard gets a few good outdoor CinemaScope set-ups into the generally backlot feel of the thing. But the reason to see the film is lanky Robert Ryan, whose compelling mix of neurosis, gentleness, and fury is on full display here. --Robert Horton

Robert Ryan was one of Hollywood's finest actors and he gives one of his more memorable performances in this well-made western, THE PROUD ONES (1956).
He plays an honest lawman who not only must deal with a crooked gambling hall owner (Robert Middleton) in his town who has ... Read More

The late Robert Ryan rarely played sympathetic characters since he was usually relegated to the vicious, bigoted villain you'd loved to hate. This fine little B-western was an exception. In this film and later in "Lawman", he plays an ageing marshall who is slowly losing his sight and knows his days as a lawman are numbered. He is looking forward to retiring with lady love (a gorgeous Virginia Mayo) but the evil forces of the town won't let him until one day a young man (Jeffrey Hunter) rides into ... Read More

The pieces of this story clunk into place with all the finesse of concrete building blocks. And some of those blocks wear the HIGH NOON brand. Except that Robert Ryan is no Gary Cooper and Virginia Mayo is no Grace Kelly. Altho, Jeff Hunter just about matches Lloyd Bridges thanks in large part to a larger, more sympathetic role. By the end of the film, the parallels to the older film were too blatant to ignore or deny.
The only reason I watched this one again, anyway, was for the music ... Read More

Other reviewers have rightfully noted the excellent performance of Robert Ryan in this picture. Jeffrey Hunter is less impressive, which is a shame, since his role in The Searchers was proof that he was capable of good acting.
This movie features some fairly good action for its day, including what might be the earliest example of a bullet hole appearing in a bad guy's head (actually, his hat). By the 60s, this had become a commonplace, but here it is another example of how film-makers were ... Read More
