A big western, with big ideals.
The story of a former sea captain (played by Gregory Peck) who settles in a western town, only to discover a bitter feud exists between the two main families in the area.
Decent plot. Starts off looking like a standard good guys vs bad guys drama, but the further you go the more you discover that things aren't anywhere near as simple as that.
A bit idealistic though. Gregory Peck's character is overly goody- two-shoesy and the movie does feel quite sappy from time to time.
Incredibly long too, at nearly three hours. Some scenes weren't entirely necessary, or could have been edited to a shorter length.
Overall, a good western, with a good message. Just takes some time to deliver the message..
