Cagney was about 56 when he made this interesting western. He was a bit long in the tooth, but his vitality showed through his wrinkles and the result was a pleasing picture.

Reviews for Run for Cover
Mr. Cagney's performance, as usual, is cocky and colorful without a great deal of substance or strenuous sincerity.
Ray's sensitive handling of actors and his exact compositional sense are as much in evidence as ever.
Ray endows it with his usual themes of generational conflict and societal injustice, and does a powerful job getting these themes across.
