With its Roots Firmly in "TV-Land", this Progressive Little Western Gets Its "Quirk-On" with an Interracial Romance, Artsy Camera Angles, and Blowing Up Apaches with Dynamite.
From the "Tube" We Get Director Herbert L. Strock, besides Directing Episodes of Almost Every TV-Western that Ever Was, did Make a Slight Mark with Low-Budget Cult Films Like "Gog" (1954), "I Was a Teen-Age Frankenstein" (1957), and "Blood of Dracula" (1957).
