This has to be one of the cheapest and ugliest-looking films I've ever seen. While the plot is good and typical and its main star was with John Wayne, the color quality, the sound and the tracking is just incredibly awful! I've seen some of the earliest Technicolor films in their ORIGINAL PRINTS and even they don't look as dark as this does. What process did this use? Anyway, avoid this film, and I would recommend you go for 1943's Lassie Come Home, Elizabeth Taylor's first film.
