The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Before John Wayne, there was Harry Carey. Carey was a mentor to John Wayne early in his career, with Duke adopting many of Carey's mannerisms and acting style. This film, which also features Hoot Gibson, Tom Tyler and Ralph "Dick Tracy" Byrd, is a wonderful example of the great western films that Harry Carey starred in over the years.In this film, the outlaw/protagonist leaves jail after a long hitch to find a world which he no longer recognizes. Cars & street-lights have replaced lanterns & horses. Harry Carey is wonderful in this moving western, which was written by the great Director John Ford!Many folks nowadays shy away from these early westerns...... don't make that mistake, this film will appeal to all fans of great stories and wonderful acting !
