Is a weird freaking movie.

[mcgsxr]

Weird like "I want my 90-120 minutes back" or weird like "man, that was a trip and people should consider watching it"?

Or perhaps weird like "wtf was that, I have no idea"?

Weird as in I went in expecting a John Wayne / John Ford type western and the film stock plus sets look like that's what you're going to get. 

But then as the movie unfolds it turns out to be something combining high camp, operatic intensity and film noir type cynicism.  Oh and a massive undercurrent of psychosexual tension between the 2 lead female characters. 

Kind of like a cross between The Searchers and Sunset Boulevard.

Sounds like 3 movies I need to add to the watch list.

I think I saw it a long time ago. Has/had a bit of a cult following. The sexual tension part makes sense given it's Crawford and McCambridge. Pretty unconventional cast as a whole if you think about it. Nicholas Ray was an interesting director.
