The subtle ironies wrapped up in the true meanings of human courage and cowardice are examined, sometimes a bit too wordily, in a strong action drama starring Gary Cooper.

Realism seems to go a step farther than it need, and show the average man as rather lower than is credible; and it is long and improbable, though never dull.

So-so Gary Cooper quasi-western; very talky, very lumbering.

Far from Coop's best, but his presence makes it worthwhile for fans.
