I have been interested in movies since my childhood and have never heard about this film, starring the fabulous Maureen O'Hara and also directed by Arthur Lubin. I have purchased thousands of movies from the USA, collectors stuff from TV taping offs, trading, taping off from UK and French channels, and also from other countries channels, all over the world ; in short, I have dedicated my life - among other things - seeking, searching, watching movies, especially the rarest one, under the condition the story interests me. For instance, I have never seen E. T, STAR WARS saga nor WEST SIDE STORY. I have all the dictionnaries of directors and their filmographies, and had never noticed this film. Never. Only when it was programmed on a French cable channel, I at last knew of its existence. So, that's done now, and I realize that if I had missed it, I would not have missed much. Nothing terrific in this feature, a rare movie is not necessarily a masterpiece. But it belongs to the Universal Studios costume adventure romance films which they produced during the late forties and fifties. This time, there was nor Tony Curtis nor Jeff Chandler, but George Nader. I had the same feeling in this stuff that I had with Robert Z Leonard's KING'S THIEF, for MGM and made on the same year. Maureen O'Hara was the best choice of a strong - in every way, physical and minded - woman; she was like this in real life. She was the only woman belonging to the John Ford's gang: John Wayne, Victor McLaglen - her co sar here - Ward Bond, Harry Carey, Ben Johnson. The Irish Gang. A weak female would have never been accepted among such rough men.
