Not one of Sam Fuller's more famous movies but I really liked it - full of interesting touches a visuals. Barbra Stanwyck was born to act in a Fuller film - all blazing guns, toughness and sex. And she's not punished for it in the end, either!
Fuller really flexes his directorial muscles here, with great tracking shots, POVs of guns, thundering action sequences (Joseph Biroc was DOP); there are songs, suicide, torment and comedy; it's also very sexy, with a female gunsmith who gets seduced with guns. I did get the actors who played the brothers confused. But great, full on fun.
