Most films about outlaws made in the fifties and before had in common a certain sadness, because you knew from the beginning that the outlaw hero was doomed. You would suffer with him, knowing there was no hope, that he would die at the end. This film has a different approach, the hero here is Randolph Scott and he is not one of the Daltons, just a friend of them, he is even a rival of Bob Dalton (Broderick Crawford) in relation to Julie King (Kay Francis). So the whole fun of the film is on the great action scenes where the Daltons do one incredible thing after another. They just don't stop, they go from a bank robbery to a train robbery where the law is waiting for them inside the train. Mary Gordon as Ma Dalton is remarkable. The fact that you can follow the Daltons without getting emotionally involved, makes this an unusual, enjoyable western, more cheerful than most of its kind.
