Quentin Tarantino called it a "classic" with "the most amazing and terrifying breaking-the- unbreakable-horse sequence in the history of western cinema, including Monte Walsh. Witney became so renowned in the industry for this sequence that when he started directing western TV shows, he was usually brought in to helm their breaking-the-unbreakable-horse episode."[3]

In 1991, a television film also entitled Stranger at My Door was released.[4] The 1991 film had nothing in common with the 1956 release other than the title.[4]

Plot edit

Outlaw Clay Anderson and his gang rob the town bank and flee in different directions. Clay's horse gives out and he is forced to hide at a nearby farm. Clay soon discovers that the farm belongs to preacher Hollis Jarret, the preacher's new wife, and children. The preacher lets Clay stay at the farm, reasoning that he can convince the outlaw to turn over a new leaf.
