| Synopsis:Wyler's
sprawling tale of the West, filled with feuds, vengeance
and violent jealousy. In a dry, parched canyon located
in the southwest, a rich rancher (Bickford) battles
it out with a poor counterpart (Ives) for water
rights. Yet in fact, neither man has control of
the precious liquid. It really belongs to Julie
Maragon (Simmons), and she generously allows them
both to use it. But when a cultured Easterner (Peck)
arrives with plans to marry the wealthy rancher's
daughter, he finds himself in the middle of this
bitter dispute and a jealous clash with the ranch
foreman (Heston). His presence sparks a fresh round
of anger and resentment. |
