7/10
She Sure is A Maverick-Maverick Queen ***

Warning: Spoilers
Barbara Stanwyck in still another gritty performance, with no nonsense at all. As a leading member of Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid's cattle rustling group, Stanwyck as always shows that she is up to the task.

Realizing that the western area is changing with all the settlers coming in, she correctly predicts the end of the era and that the gang will be wiped out. Butch and Sundance certainly aren't glamorized here as they were with Paul Newman and Robert Redford's "Sundance Kid" in 1969.

Despite her participation in this illegal enterprise, Stanwyck is looking for something better in the men she chooses and she finds that in Barry Sullivan, who has infiltrated the gang, a Pinkerton Detective man.

A good film which is filmed with traditional lines-"We can't go back," and "I made my path."
