Jeff S This entertaining film is aided by some solid actors and unexpected twists. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/05/24 Full Review Audience Member Very good western here. I will highly recommend it, James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas, July 20, 2023. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/20/23 Full Review Audience Member A very clichéd and formulaic Western that perhaps takes itself more seriously than it should. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member A fairly entertaining western although very one-dimensional in most respects. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Standard oater in beautiful Technicolor. Linda Darnell offers a feisty portrait of a traveling performer and is amazingly lovely. Her sharp work elevates this above the run of the mill. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member An interesting western this with a no-name cast of stereotypes (the alcoholic, the do-gooder, the bad guy with a conscience etc) battling Indians after a stagecoach accident. Linda Darnell is striking as the love interest and Dale Robertson is fun as the anti-hero - but there is little else to distinguish this from the plethora of westerns out there. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
