I just finished watching this on T.V.,about 2 hours ago,and decided to submit a review. Initially it really rather surprised me that this will be the first,and that no one else has submitted one.Possibly,this is the first time in quite a while that it has been broadcast.So,here goes,written in a spirit of appreciation and thanks.
My guess is that this was one of that great number of Western films that had written and produced for dozens of youngsters and adolescents to view on Saturday afternoons at the local movie theater.And,if this does happen to be the case,that it served it's purpose admirably.I don't think that anyone,including the producers,director,staff,or members of the cast would ever consider this to be great art.The plot is hurried,jumpy,and focuses on action rather than character and plot development.But,still,everybody does a splendid job with what they've got to do,and from a technical perspective,it equals anything that one of the classics from MGM could have done.Camera work,sound,make-up,props,etc.really can't be beat.So,watch this film in the spirit in which it was intended,and enjoy.
