Audience Member Routine wester with reliable actor Joel McCrea as a the leader of a group of rebel soldiers trying to steal a gold shipment. It's not a bad film, but really doesn't offer much you haven't seen done better before. And boy, that river fording scene seemed to go on forever. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 140830: This movie rambles along. Not very impactful but satisfying enough.
