I have not seen every film starring the King, especially his musicals, but among those I have seen, this one remains the most memorable, and certainly because Don Siegel at directing. I am sure that the presence of Elvis brought many audiences but without Siegel as film maker, this would have been a lesser material. Elvis was a gifted actor, besides his skills as a singer. This is a good western, and not a singing one, not a Roy Rogers nor Gene Autry like feature, don't get misunderstood. It is moving, solid, worth viewing.
