Rate this: Director Rudolph Mat The Violent Men (1. Robinson) is a cattle baron, owner of Anchor ranch, a man who dreams of controlling the whole valley. The next rancher in his way is an ex- Civil War hero, John Parrish (Glenn Ford). Parrish went West to heal from a war wound but is willing to sell his ranch and move back East with his fiancee (May Wynn as Caroline Vail). That is until one of his cowhand’s is killed by Wilkison’s hired gun (Richard Jaeckel as Wade Matlock). After that, Parrish leads his men in a guerrilla type warfare for which the men of Anchor are unprepared. Meanwhile, Lew Wilkinson has more trouble at home than he realizes. He was crippled in the last range war, so he’s brought in his brother (Brian Keith as Cole Wilkison) to manage this foray of violence. Lew’s wife, Martha (Barbara Stanwyck) always loved Cole; now he’s conveniently nearby. Daughter Judith hates her mom for her betrayal of her father, but can’t stand to tell him the truth. She just wants the killing to end. Review: Directed with lots of vim and vigor, this entertaining film is rare for its large number of prominent female roles. In addition to Stanwyck, there’s Caroline Vail, who sees Parrish as her ticket to the East and asks him to swallow his pride to get her there; Lita Milan as Elena, a pretty young Mexican girl who battles Stanwyck for Cole’s love, she loves the man, not the potential cattle baron; and Dianne Foster as pretty young Judith Wilkinson, who’s glad to see someone finally stand up to her father and Anchor, but who pleads with Parrish to stop the bloodshed once it starts. Unfortunately, there are a couple of highly implausible twists near the end that will likely leave most viewers shaking their heads. Still, an entertaining film. Directed by: Rudolph Mate. Cast: Glenn Ford . This country gave you back your life. And you still owe it nothing?”Parrish: “What happens in this valley is no concern of mine.”Lew Wilkison to Parrish: “Here at Anchor, we don’t pay much attenton to this hogwash about the meek inheriting the earth.”Lew Wilkison: “I’m beginning to think I was all wrong about Parrish. He let his ranch go up in smoke just to set up an ambush. There’s a fine, cold- blooded devil.”Judith Wilkison to her father, Lew: “When I think of the men you killed. To make Anchor the biggest cemetery in the country?”. Tagged with: Barbara Stanwyck .
