Said to be a Western rendition of Othello, Jubal Troop(Glenn Ford) is a man of great dignity, strength, and self-control. He is a ranch hand working for Shep Horgan (Ernest Borgnine). Sheps wife, Mae Horgan (Valerie French) tests Jubals strength as she tries to lure him with her Sirens' call.
Filmed around Jackson Hole, Wyoming(map), the film features panoramic views of the rugged high country.
Jubal is pitted against the evil Pinky (Rod Steiger). Both work for the amiable Shep and both are tangled up with Mae.
Jubal is an adult western not suited for Saturday afternoon theater but an excellent movie nonetheless.
