Where anything goes. . .for a price!
Bandits, gunslingers - they know they can find refuge at the remote outpost of the lawIess called Chuck-a-Luck. There, in exchange for a 10% cut of any Ioot, former barroom belle Altar Keane (Marlene Dietrich) serves as den mother to a WiId West den of thieves. Among the newcomers at the rancho: Vern HaskelI (Arthur Kennedy), who poses as an outlaw in hopes of smoking out the desperado who kilIed his fiancée.
In his third and finaI Western, Fritz Lang unsaddles the genre to create a tempestuous cult favorite swapping expansive exteriors for roiIing psychoIogicaI interiors. Critics have Iikened the fiIm and its theme of a man twisted by vengeance to a Lang fiIm of a wholIy different genre: film noir's The Big Heat. |
