It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

If I comment this item, it's only because it has not been commented yet and also because it was made by the great Joseph H Lewis, the famous director of GUN CRAZY, SO DARK THE NIGHT, THE BIG COMBO, and also many others great little film noirs or westerns starring Randolph Scott.I watched this one, I have in my collection since two decades, only because I intended to see how Lewis put his mark in it. And I found some interesting angle cameras shots, during a chariot stampede - with the camera from below - and also some indoor sequences. I don't know the technical names to describe, but we don't see that in other B westerns which, I have already said that in my comments, are nearly all the same. Always topics about big land owners who want to get rid off petty ones or, as in this movie, a freight line that could jeopardize his business. Always the same. Boring but not charmless...And I guess that's here the authentic story of America. HEAVEN'S GATE in a lesser scale. And there was thousands of these schemes in westerns.
