This film was not worthy of either Peck or Saint. The plot could have resulted in a fine western, but the execution was abysmal. The action scenes were ridiculous, in that the killer was known to so effectively sneak up on his 20-30 previous victims that they never heard him or saw him coming, yet our heroes never seemed concerned that he was around and constantly gave him big targets to shoot at. The dialogue was slow, stilted, and meaningless, with no character development for the child at all, and very little for Saint's character. Even the musical theme was boring and poorly done. If the scenery were not so grandly American, I would have expected that this film had been made in France or Italy.
