      Jeff S A great starring cast is supported by some good character actors and clever banter. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/26/24 Full Review bobbie h Shelly Winters was so young here! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/24 Full Review Audience Member This one right here was really good thank you’ll like it as much as I do highly recommend it James Welch, Henderson Arkansas may 30th 2023 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/31/23 Full Review joseph f Watched on YouTube, drawn by Marie Windsor's billing. Elsa Lanchester, Shelley Winters (who was sexy in a way I did not expect), and Joel McCrea were all fun to watch. A good movie! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Tom M Great western with McCrea playing his usual happy-go-lucky good guy. Winters, in perhaps her best performance in her earlier years, was rarely sexier. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/21 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
