The Man From Colorado (1949)

Description

Glenn Ford delivers a mesmierising performance as Owen Devereaux, a sadistic Civil War veteran who has deep-rooted psychological damage due to his experiences during the war. William Holden is outstanding as Del Stewart, Devereaux's marshal and ex-army pal who tries to restrain the judge's violent nature. When Devereaux's psychotic behaviour forces the townspeople to take up arms against him, the former friends are pitted against each other in a brutal conflict with fatal consequences. The suspense never falters in acclaimed director Heny Levin's tightly woven tale which delves into the devastating psychological effects of war.
