Bandits, gunslingers, outlaws: they know they can find refuge at the remote frontier outpost known as Chuck-a-Luck. There, in exchange for a 10 percent cut of any loot, former barroom belle Altar Keane (Marlene Dietrich) presides over a Wild West den of thieves. Among the newcomers at the hideout: Vern Haskell (Arthur Kennedy), who poses as an outlaw in hopes of smoking out the desperado who killed his fiancée. In his third and final western, Fritz Lang unsaddles the genre to create a tempestuous, sexually charged cult favorite that swaps expansive exteriors for roiling psychological interiors.

Slant's 100 Best Westerns of All Time (100 movies items)

"Rancho Notorious opens with Vern Haskell (Arthur Kennedy) planting a big kiss on his fiancée, Beth (Gloria Henry), but this being a Fritz Lang film, it’s downhill from there for the Wyoming cowpoke. Lang’s fatalism rears its ugly head as Vern, once an innocent rancher who vengefully hunts down the man who abused and killed Beth in a hold-up, becomes the very thing that would appear to be antithetical to his nature. His episodic journey toward a hideout for ruthless outlaws run by Altar Kean"
