One of the best western starring Audie Murphy
Very entertaining western directed by George Sherman (who did Big Jake with John Wayne and produced The Comancheros 1961). The actors are excellent. We get Audie Murphy and Stephen McNally back altogether 8 years after Duel at silver creek 1952, but here they are enemies. Felicia Farr acts in her last western. And very good supporting cast with Jan Merlin as Travers, John Qualen and Bob Steele among others.

With a very good screenplay, I really liked the character, Stephen MacNally plays. The three main actors are perfect, and they carry the movie. So if you have the luck to have the opportunity to see this movie: GOOOOO!

Suspenseful western
Audie Murphy plays a horse trader who gets mistaken for an outlaw called travers, mainly because he walks into the town with a distinctive looking shotgun that Travers totes. He tries to clear his name, but no ones listening. And things get worse when glory hunting Marshal played by the scene chewing Stephen McNally appears. With Felicia Farr - a school teacher - in tow, the chase is on.

An exciting western, with an emphasis on suspense, Hell bent for leather moves at a fair clip. There's action but the suspense is overwhelming, especially for the fact that Audie is gunless. His quick thinking mind helps him out of the scrapes; Audie is really good in this film, really looks like a rabbit caught in the headlight. The face might be expressionless but those eyes just dance with fear. He expresses a sense of desperation well, looks vulnerable. His chemistry with Felicia Farr, who is a pariah of a sort, is very good. Their conversation is engaging. All the other players like a snarling Jan Merlin and the aforementioned McNally are on top form, but it's the mountainous terrain that looms over them that is a scene stealer. I have also read the book - outlaw Marshall by Ray Hogan - it is based on and that's just as good. An underrated western that deserves a look.
