A saloonkeeper (Maureen O'Hara) sides with the sheriff (Alex Nicol) for justice after she's framed for rustling.

Age Staff

The Age (Australia)

Director Lee Sholem has what amounts to a craze for closing a scene with a meaningless shot. It becomes quite fascinating.

Plenty of violent gunplay, fast movement and a sensationally-gowned Miss O'Hara provide the excitement in the Leonard Goldstein production, as set up in the script by Polly James and Herb Meadow.

Classic Film and Television

Mild Western has good characters and an admirable interest in non-violent solutions to conflict.

This is the old, old story or the cattle baron versus the small settlers. But the film is lifted above the average Western by a new twist.

Maureen O'Hara's Technicolor décolletage is a good deal more impressive than the fiat old plot that surrounds her.

While O'Hara and Bishop shine in an otherwise ordinary Western yarn, Nicol is hopelessly miscast as the heroic sheriff.

An average Western elevated by Maureen O'Hara and, to a lesser extent, a young Dennis Weaver in a small role a few years before his Gunsmoke fame.

'The Redhead from Wyoming' qualifies as a thoroughly predictable but nevertheless entertaining, horse opera about a range war between trigger-happy cattlemen and homesteaders in the 1880s, with Maureen O'Hara at her fiery best--This good, old-fashioned western is a treat, especially the big finale in Sweetwater as well as in the saloon with Kate, Averell, and Blaine shooting it out... Touch of red... in glorious Technicolor!!

Okay western is colorful and Maureen O'Hara is fiery in the lead. It's all pretty average until it tips into the realm of the ridiculous by having Maureen fight a range war in diamonds and a black beaded evening gown! Still not bad of its type.

Based on a "real" incident from Wyoming's rustling- cattle range war past the film of course is pure 1950's Hollyood pulp western. OHara does a fine job as the Saloon owner ( in real life the character owned a small free range spread) as does he rest of the cast. Fun to watch once. Too bad Hollywood doesn't remake this with the real story as it would match Eastwood's Unforgiven for a modern die hard western.
