      Steve D Hasn't aged great but still entertaining. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/24 Full Review michele a Natalie Wood as a Mexican ,far from believable.Too many gun fights. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Tab Hunter is good. Natalie Wood still needs more practice. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Kind of like "Young Guns" for the 1950s with teen heartthrobs Tab Hunter and Natalie Woods (horribly miscast as a Mexican) in a young lovers on the run (sort of) western. It's not terrible, though Woods' accent is terrible and was nearly dubbed over by another actress according to Hunter's autobiography, but it's a pretty dull Louis L'Amour western adaptation. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member great performances from it's leads don't keep "burning hills" from being a mostly boring and unoriginal western. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member ok western but i've seen much better (& worse) Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Carol Cling Las Vegas Review-Journal OK Western but you could do much better. Rated: 3/5 Sep 1, 2006 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews What remains solid is the revenge motive, it never strays from that theme. Rated: C Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Read all reviews
