However, as Peary notes, the storyline is equally concerned with the riders&#8217; &#8220;wives who silently suffer while their men are corrupted by money, alcohol, and wild women.&#8221; The film is most effective at portraying the inevitable tensions which can emerge in a marriage when personal dreams clash with mutual goals; Peary points out that &#8220;as in many Ray films, tension continually builds without a release, until the time is right for a violent outburst.&#8221; While &#8220;predictable&#8221; at times, <em>The Lusty Men<\/em> benefits from a &#8220;strong cast, good rodeo atmosphere, an excellent script, and strong direction.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Arthur Kennedy as Wes Merritt<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Lusty-Men-Kennedy.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Lusty-Men-Kennedy-1024x607.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"379\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-47091\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Lusty-Men-Kennedy-1024x607.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Lusty-Men-Kennedy-300x178.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Lusty-Men-Kennedy-128x76.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Lusty-Men-Kennedy-768x455.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Lusty-Men-Kennedy-1536x910.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Lusty-Men-Kennedy.png 1595w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Robert Mitchum as Jeff McCloud<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Lusty-Men-Mitchum.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Lusty-Men-Mitchum-1024x602.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"376\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-47092\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Lusty-Men-Mitchum-1024x602.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Lusty-Men-Mitchum-300x176.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Lusty-Men-Mitchum-128x75.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Lusty-Men-Mitchum-768x451.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Lusty-Men-Mitchum-1536x903.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Lusty-Men-Mitchum.png 1611w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Susan Hayward as Louise Merritt<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Lusty-Men-Hayward2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Lusty-Men-Hayward2-1024x664.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"415\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-47094\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Lusty-Men-Hayward2-1024x664.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Lusty-Men-Hayward2-300x195.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Lusty-Men-Hayward2-128x83.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Lusty-Men-Hayward2-768x498.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/03\/Lusty-Men-Hayward2.png 1481w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Lee Garmes&#8217;
