This is a very good western!


It is one of many movies neglected by tv. It is a shame that it isn't shown on TCM or the Encore Channel once in a while. It is a good western and Dale Robertson is great as the villain Jagade. Jock Mahoney is very good as the marshall. It is a shame that Mr. Mahoney's movies are neglected because he made some good ones like Last of the Fast Guns and Joe Dakota.

I just saw it on TV (either on TCM or Encore). I am really impressed with it, an overlooked gem. Read my user review. I think a lot of well-placed effort went into it -- writing and direction. The scenes and action were very logical and well interwoven. I'll cite just this one commendable thing about the movie: all the supporting players were given interesting little tidbits about their personality, things that were not needed to advance the story, but which made the characters more engaging and believable.
