- Quotes
Tom Rosser: Howdy, M'am.
Mary Donley: Howdy. We have steak and beef stew, and steak and beef stew.
Tom Rosser: Which one do you recommend?
Mary Donley: Neither. The beef's tough. But it's all we've got. And I suggest black coffee; the milk's turning sour.
Tom Rosser: Well, at least you're honest. I'll leave it up to you.
Mary Donley: [calls to the kitchen] Beef stew!
Dana Andrews shows the effects of years of alcohol by this point and although that actually plays to the lead character, one suspects the movie would have been elevated with someone like Glenn Ford in that role but no doubt he would have needed a higher pay cheque as well. Terry Moore could have been given more to do as they downplayed romance in favour of the building confrontation. But she definitely looks good handles what she is given well.
Pat O'Brien, Lon Chaney Jr., Bruce Cabot, Lyle Bettger, Richard Arlen, Barton MacLane, Richard Jaeckel all show up like old friends who have done these roles a dozen times each but what could have been stale characterizations are instead well dished out from practised professionals still trying to earn their pay and their next job.
