Long-time extra and very occasional character player Herbert Heywood has his only featured role here as Doctor Denton, and the movie is well worth seeing on his account only. But it also has lots of other features to recommend it, including an involving script that grabs attention right from the start and then proceeds to come to a great climax, plus top-of- the-mark direction by David Howard and splendid acting from all concerned, but especially George O'Brien, Virginia Vale and Norman Willis. As usual in O'Brien westerns, production values are remarkably high by "B"-feature standards. Available on an excellent Grapevine "George O'Brien" DVD, coupled with "Hollywood Cowboy".
