Synopsis:
A one-armed man stops at a town in the western desert to deliver a medal to an oriental serviceman, only to discover he has been killed by the locals.
Review:
Classic modern western, full of gritty performances and with a memorable setting. For all the absence of a Japanese-American victim, it was one of the many notable strikes against racism that arose after the war: Boomerang, Gentleman's Agreement, The Defiant Ones, etc.
