Il sentiero della violenza (1958)
Hackett è un facoltoso e rude allevatore di bestiame. Dei due figli che ha, Ed è quello che predilige anche perché, di modi spicci, gli somiglia di più. Ma, sulle orme del padre, il ragazzo si spinge presto molto in là, seminando morti. Hackett tenta di farlo ragionare, poi deve scontrarsi con lui. Convincente melodramma western diretto da un buon regista di "B-movies".
