5-Star: CLASSIC (can watch again & again)
4-Star: Favorite (watch once a year)
3-Star: Good (watch every couple years)
2-Star: Pass (one watch is enough)

- DirectorRichard ThorpeStarsBurt LancasterRobert WalkerJoanne DruThe sons of a Colorado cattle baron, one biological and the other adopted, resent one another and fight for control of their father's cattle empire.A cattle baron has as son Lee Strobie (Robert Walker) and an adopted son Owen Daybright (Burt Lancaster). Lee who is married fathers his mistress's child, and the blame falls on Owen to save grace because Lee is married. Lee and Owen lead a cattle drive when Owen learns that Lee has double-crossed all of his family members. The final showdown is rather uneventful, which is surprising since it stars Burt Lancaster. Lancaster was solid, but not powerful as usual. When you have Burt Lancaster and Robert Walker in it I just expected more. The name Vengeance Valley is rather confusing because there wasn't any revenge, but instead it is about hostile sibling relations that eventually boil over. It is worth a watch but overall disappointing.
