This is a good movie!


I hope it is shown on television soon. It has been years since I have seen it and Alan Ladd is good in it. Charles Bronson did a great job in it too and showed the promise of the great career that was to come. Too bad Hollywood didn't recognize his potential until about 12 years later.

Is it good? Bronson was good, but plot was threadbare. It was supposed to be Ore/Cal border but was shot in Az. I watched it all, but it wasn't much; better than many Ladd westerns, but by this time he was a pretty much washed out drunk.

Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.

I enjoyed it for the first time. I think one of Ladd's best.
