What I love the most in this tale is the description of the lead character - Claude Dallas. It is shown as a sympathetic man, a nature lover, an authentic mountain man, very pleasant guy, to whom the audience can feel some good feelings. With his gentle school teacher look, he surprises every one when he shoots the two mountain wardens who wanted to arrest him for illegal hunting, or something like that. Yes, the audience is astonished when we wee that gentle man killing two officers in cold blood before finishing them like ordinary trapped animals. This story is from actual facts, that's the reason why this kind of sequence is described; in another fictional feature, we would have never seen that. It would have been a classic good guys vs bad guys scheme.
Claude Dallas is very touching when the script tells us his story through flashbacks. An ordinary guy who becomes later a killer. I like that. It is very unusual.
And his victims are sympathetic too.
A very interesting scheme.
