Screenplay
Nesta produção, Scott está maravilhoso, mas seu papel não é de herói, ele é o Major Matt, o líder de um grupo de ex-soldados Confederados. O filme inicia com Matt e seu grupo atacando um carregamento de ouro da União - apesar da guerra ter acabado há um mês. Sabendo que ele e seu pelotão poderiam ser enforcados por assassinato, Matt decide levar alguns reféns. O filme não é tão previsível quanto soa, entretanto a relação de Matt com um dos reféns (Donna Reed) é um pouco diferente. Felizmente, a química interpretativa entre os dois astros, faz a relação deles se destacar na trama. Em termos de ação o filme é fantástico. O Laço do Carrasco é uma pérola do gênero, uma das belas obras da filmografia de Scott.
