      Audience Member Another really good Western right here. Yes I will recommend it to James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas, March 3, 2023. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Written and directed by Roy Huggins, the creator of "Maverick", "The Fugitive" and "The Rockford Files", this film has none of the appeal or interest of those TV series. Instead we get a pretty standard western with Randolph Scott leading a group of Confederate gold raiders on a raid not knowing the war is over. They become hunted by the law and others out to get that gold and make a stand in a stagecoach station. Clem Bevins is okay as a old codger and Lee Marvin has his moments, but none of the guys chasing Scott and Marvin are anywhere near as tough as they are so its kind of a foregone conclusion. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member average scott western, best performance from marvin... let down by the long drawn out ending Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member There's a good mix of fast paced action and tense stand-offs in this steady western. Scott's acting doesn't differ but in the beginning his character isn't the clear cut hero he is known for playing for, although it is the underused Lee Marvin who excels as the dirty maverick among them. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member wow umn just seen this movie 4 the 1st time n think that this is a good movie 2 watch its got a good cast of actors/actressess throughout this movie..i think that claude jarman jr, clem bevans, donna reed, guinn "big boy" williams, glenn langan, frank faylen, lee marvin, jeanette nolan, guinn williams play good roles/parts throughout this movie,,,,i think that this is a good 1950's movie 2 watch,.,,i think that the director of this action/adventure/drama/western movie had done a good job of directing this movie because you never know what 2 expect thorughout this movie its a good western movie 2 watch..i think that the fight scenes n the gun shoot outs were pretty kewl throughout this movie its an enjoyable western movie 2 watch with a good cast throughout this movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A low point among Randolph Scott's canon of work - this colourless western offers little to the genre and even an early role for Lee Marvin cant lift this from mediocrity!
