Comanche Station is a modest movie. It lacks the scope of the big Hollywood Westerns of its time and the splashy zaniness of the Spaghetti Westerns that were to burst onto the scene later in the decade. What it does have is mostly solid performances (Scott in particular does good work here), a lean, economical script and a few stand-out sequences.
For instance, I particularly liked the film's opening, a nearly wordless sequence in which Scott's character interacts with a tribe of Indians. A ransomed or kidnapped wife is a recurring element in Boetticher/Scott Westerns, but this movie brings some freshness to that old storyline.
Bottom Line: A better-than-average Western. Worth your time.
