Old school movie fan - love the obscure stuff on TCM - big fan of "character" actors who can do a lot with a little (Edward Arnold, Richard Boone,Laird Cregar,May Whitty) - if you want to entertain, you better do it, and if you want me to think, you better be logical.

  • Good B Western for a Saturday Afternoon

    If you can get past Brooklyn born Dane Clark as a two gun Arizona outlaw, this is an entertaining picture. Ben Johnson plays a man bent on revenge who softens to his intended victim's family, and Peter Graves is very good as the brother of the man Johnson wants to kill. This may be the best Cinecolor film made, as the color, although brash, doesn't waver as many others do. For me, Clark was the weak point; although he does well the script doesn't make him very believable, waving his two guns all over the place and never missing his target. It's also hard to believe he could last more than thirty seconds in a fistfight with Johnson. The secondary cast is quite good, with Goerge Cleveland as a hot headed but understanding uncle, and Ralph Sanford as a cantankerous stage driver. It's certainly worth a ninety minute view time, if you have popcorn and a drink.
