Cattle baron Matt Devereaux (Spencer Tracy) rules his vast empire with a ruthless hand. Matt's greatest love is for his Indian wife, Princess (Katy Jurado) and their son Joe (Robert Wagner). Matt's three sons from a previous marriage deeply resent them. When Devereaux illegally raids a copper mine that has been polluting his water, it leads to trouble for his youngest son. Joe takes the rap for his father's crime and is sent to jail. When Joe emerges from prison he finds that his world has changed; his rebellious step-brothers have driven his mother away and destroyed their father's cattle empire. Oscar winning screenplay and a terrific score combine to make this take on greed, corruption and revenge one of the greatest Westerns ever made.

But why did I have to go to Spain to buy it? More Fox please. That CinemaScope trademark music still gives me the chills! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I'm sure it is excellent *by B***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 February 2019* The first 45 minutes of this western classic definitely deserves five stars and I'm certain the rest of the film is just as good. Unfortunately I never got to watch it since the (obviously faulty) disc kept skipping and finally stopping.
