Directed by Robert Wise. Starring Robert Mitchum and Barbara Bel Geddes and the lovable Walter Brennan.
When there’s blood on the moon, death lurks in the shadows.
First viewing of this film. Who could resist the title and Robert Mitchum? Mitchum is the consummate outsider, the dangerous good guy, in this noir-western beauty from the director who would later bring us The Sound of Music! I love Mitchum’s portrayal of the cowboy hero disillusioned by the dark side of western expansion’s shady nation-building tactics.
