A Bit Of A Gem

Allan "Rocky" Lane is one of those staid actors that is all business and usually not a lot of fun. He probably could be compared closer to Wild Bill Elliot than Roy Rogers, but I find him likable and this particular movie ranks pretty well if compared to his other endeavors as a western hero. I was pleasantly surprised at the entertainment value of this B-Western movie. The plot is unusual and the faces are very familiar. I particularly liked seeing Myron Healey in a role he didn't usually play.I don't believe in offering spoilers for any movies, so I'll just recommend this one to fans of the western genre and say - aside from the very short running time (under an hour) - it's a little gem I'm glad I didn't miss.
