      Michael E. Grost Classic Film and Television Good Western is full of visual style and a thirst for the rule of law. Jul 6, 2010 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews The B Western works mostly because Joel McCrea plays his lead role with conviction and the Ansco Color is appealing. Rated: B- Oct 21, 2008 Full Review Phil Hall Film Threat A diverting bit of old-time Western action. Rated: 3/5 Sep 9, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews
