These Hybrids Rarely Attain Above Average Status as Each Genre Devolves into Mediocrity.
But Here, it Works Fine with the Help of Mitchum Showing His Quickly Evolving Screen Persona as a Pithy, Straight-Talking, No-Nonsense Macho but Sensitive to Others Grittiness as Likeable as 'All=Get-Out.
Barbara Hale is Easy-Breezy and Confident as Most of the Comedy in the 1st Act is Her Swapping Her Eastern Elitism into a Cowboy(girl).
Thurston Hall Comes-Off Less Entertaining and More Irritating as a Loud, Grumpy, Oldster that Over Emphasizes Everything.
Even When He Dives Right-Into the Gunplay and Commands Respect from All.
Richard Martin as a Mexican Side-Kick is OK but way Over-Shadowed by the Mitchum-Hale Playful Antics. Although the Film Tries Desperately To Include His Latin Entry into the Proceedings.
This is Not a Typical Kid-Friendly Mid-Forties Western. It has a Different Vibe Leaning to some Sexual Situations and Banter that is Edgy.
It's a Good Script Showcasing the Rising of Robert Mitchum as a Bona-Fide Screen-Presence and Bankable Star.
There's Plenty of Gun-Play and Villainy.
Above Average B-Western with Mitchum and Hale Doing Their Romantic Fore-Play with Cutting-Edge Charm.
