Product Description

Review

One-eyed director Andr de Toth helmed this unique low-budget Western filled with fine performances and a view of pioneer life that isn't as idealized as other films of its day. Rather than a sun-baked prairie, de Toth gives us a truly bleak Wyoming winter. Instead of a quaint frontier town, the few buildings are simple, ramshackle shelters surrounded by a mix of dirt and snow. This tiny community of 20 souls isn't too small to escape trouble between local farmers and the lone cattle rancher over barbed wire fences, but these problems become moot when a band of rogue cavalrymen take over the town. Robert Ryan is great as the bitter, conflicted rancher Blaise Starrett, a roughneck who fought to clean up the territory for settlers and is ostracized for his troubles. Both he and dying cavalry officer Burl Ives are dark heroes who set aside their contempt for one last stab at salvation. Day of the Outlaw relies less on gunplay than the tension between kidnappers and their quarry, and the final showdown is between man and the elements rather than a shootout in the streets. ~ Fred Beldin, All Movie Guide

4.0 out of 5 stars The Bad in the Good and the Good in the Bad, Mar 29 2009
By SGM "Fan in the Saddle" (Calgary, Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews
This unusual western makes an engrossing story of the polarities of good and evil and the grey between by showing us first the dark side of an an apparently unscrupulous character played by Robert Ryan who is about to kill the husband of his lover, when he is interrupted by the arrival of the bad guys - some truly nasty, completely without moral standards bad dudes, led by an authoritarian character played by Burl Ives. But Ryan's character is far from unscrupulous, and Ives' reveals the admirable characteristics of his code of honor. Well acted, beautifully shot and a thoroughly enjoyable film. The widescreen black-and-white format plays appropriately to the film's themes and color is not missed. A fine film; a western morality play with a different twist, and another example of Andre de Toth's excellent directing. I was unaware of de Toth until I saw 'Crime Wave' (a standout 'noir' released in 1954); I'll be searching out his other films.
