Gary Cooper is one of those actors who doesn't mind aging at all. Here he has immersed himself in the role of a cowboy, who may not be as much of a gentleman as one would think at first glance. His past haunts him, but it doesn't only have an impact on himself, but also on the people around him. This encounter with the past in a western setting didn't exactly thrill me, but it does show the depth of the genre.
