Zane Grey was a prolific & beloved author of many of the finest western novels ever. Screen adaptations of his works have had a spotty history, but this film is worth a closer look.
Scott Brady, Forrest Tucker and Lee Van Cleef stand out in this interesting western saga. Tucker in particular was under-appreciated during his career. This film helps remind the viewer how good he really could be, when given a classic story and a plumb role.
Along with Riders Of The Purple Sage, this was my favorite Zane Grey story. While a bigger budget would have helped, this film still captures some of the charm of the famed novel. Slightly above-average.
