20th Century Fox movie with great main and support cast, being lavishly produced and efficiently directed. Furthermore, it contains a colorful and glimmer cinematography by Charles Clarke. As well as rousing and stirring musical score by Cryl Mockridge. This is an ambitious and large-scale film dealing with the historical combat between Fitzsimmons and James, Jim, Corbett, whose character was already been portrayed by Errol Flynn in Gentleman Jim directed by Raoul Walsh . This is an interesting movie though lacks some inspiration and being interesting enough . However, there is not central drive in the storyline, delivering various sub-plots with no much interest, as the triangular love story. Stars Dale Robertson as the good/bad bandit intending to make a quick dishonest heist. His partenaire is the gorgeous and sweet Jeanne Crain.
