This tiresome 76 minute revenge oater wrapped up the movie doings of James Arness, who devoted himself to his TV show, "Gunsmoke" for the next 20 years. But the embittered loner in this portrait of an outlaw seemed to be continued in his early Matt Dillon performances. There's nothing here to suggest that Andrew V. McLaglen should direct anything other than television, but Burt Kennedy's mediocre script soon led, at least, to three creditable pictures with Budd Boetticher and Randolph Scott. There is one undeniable gem however: the introduction of talented, pretty Angie Dickinson. Roles for heavies Robert J. Wilke and Emile Meyer are welcome.
