ROTF is a very acceptable Western for 1950 - though I'm not sure to which particular Frontiersman the title refers. Well filmed, good scenery and some interesting actors - not least the veteran Tim Holt, the up-and-coming Rory Calhoun and, in an uncredited role as the lecherous cowhand, future beefcake star Richard Egan.
One has to be a little forgiving with the evolving plot and McRae's dénouement, but the film moves along nicely enough.
But it did jar that within hours of having a bullet removed from his shoulder McRae was able to use his arm for shooting, riding, fighting and lifting Julie London - a miracle recovery second only to James Stewart's in "The Man from Laramie" after he was shot with revolver pressed against his palm!
