A generous 2 stars for a very young Angie Dickinson

"At 74 minutes this late 50's B western is still amazingly bloated with too much ...of nothing. This could have been cut down to 50minutes and played on TV and still would have been cliche riddled and boring but acceptable. James Arness is pretty wooden...the villians and plot are a complete cliche and the ONLY reason to watch is to see "and introducing Angie Dickinson" who out acts everyone else in the movie. The Director Andrew Mclaglen, developed into a pretty good one and that was one of the reasons I gave this a try. Save your 10 bucks and put it towards a Rawhide season set or even a Gunsmoke if that's your taste...this isn't worth your time.
I rarely write negative reviews...but I figure there are many out there like me curious because of the talent level and being a John Wayne production ...but its truly B or C level."

"Above average western. If you are a James Arness fan, as I am, you will find this movie mildly entertaining. Beautiful Angie Dickenson, in her film debut, gives an above average performance. Cast contains several fine character actors familiar to TV audiences of the 50's and 60's. A great baby boomer nostalgia piece."
James AT HIS Best !!

"If you like James Arness in Gun Smoke, you'll like this movie. I haven't found a movie with James Arness that I haven't liked yet. Trust me, you'll like this movie."
