Featured review
Pretty looking western
A group of copper miners, Southern veterans, are terrorized by local rebel-haters, led by deputy Lane Travis. The miners ask stage sharpshooter Johnny Carter ( Ray Milland) to help them, under the impression that he is the legendary Colonel Desmond. It seems they're wrong; but Johnny's show comes to Coppertown and Johnny romances lovely gambler Lisa Roselle(Hedy Lamarr), whom the miners believe is at the center of their troubles.
An intriguing western with fairly good character development and suspense. It's action-packed, but more in the second half. The first half unwinds slowly before the pace speeds up. Ray Milland is really good as a sharpshooter, pity he didn't do more westerns. Hedy Lamarr lends a bit of mystery and allure to the surroundings. MacDonald Carey steals every scene he is in as the back shooting villain.
An entertaining western with beautiful colour photography, which enhances the film somewhat, and it ends with an exciting shootout.
