Pero los indios norteamericanos carecen de ciudadanía y de derecgo a la propiedad. Los tribunales, pese a los esfuerzos de la abogada de Lance (Paula Raymond), no ofrecerán solución alguna. Lance y los suyos deben pelear para conservar su tierra... (Impulso Records)

If you can overlook the fact that Robert Taylor (as white as snow) is cast as a Native American and let yourself be captivated by John Alton's stunning cinematography, this western should mesmerize you. It's not just about the beautiful visuals and noir atmosphere — Devil's Doorway packs a punch with its social commentary. The film tackles pressing issues like racism, exploitation, genocide, and women's emancipation, highlighting how many human problems persist through time, merely changing their guise. Set after the American Civil War, this 1950 film remains strikingly relevant, cutting deep even after 70 years. While mostly an intimate and tightly woven story, it offers some epic battle sequences that are masterfully executed. It's a shame this marked the final collaboration between director Anthony Mann and cinematographer John Alton, but they certainly ended on a high note, leaving a significant mark on their illustrious careers.
