Nothing surprising here, in this predictable but efficient little western which uses the perfect recipe for success. The scheme is as old as the movie film industry. And in Warner Bros productions, the villain is always, Raymond Massey, Victor Jory, Zachary Scott, David Brian and the leads Randolph Scott, Dennis Morgan or Madonald Carey. The "recipe" works very well here, it is fast paced, powerful of simplicity in terms of story telling. And the sub characters such as George Gabby Hayes are delightful because of the touch they all bring to this charming western. Edwin Marin the director provided many good of this kind during his last years of career. Most of them starring Randolph Scott.
