Colorized version isn't bad., 9 June 2000
Author: lartronic from Akron, Ohio

The colorized version of this film isn't all that bad. It's got the new music, and sound effects, color is well done, but the only problem is the voices, they seem to be dubbed in instead of the originals. For an early Wayne western, this one isn't half bad, and Yakima Canutt plays Wayne's faithful injun pal, Yak. This is probably the most unconvincing Indian act ever. Every time I watch this I like to make fun of him (pulling an MST3K). if you're a fan of 'B' westerns, it would be a good bet to watch this.
