Good Saturday afternoon western., 28 August 2007
6/10
Author: sailor2254 from United States

Basically this film is a remake of the 1943 Humphrey Bogart film 'Sahara' with essentially the same plot moved from the deserts of North Africa to the American Southwest. Nevertheless, this is a solid western with good acting by a cast of competent character actors and vivid photography. Broderick Crawford was, to my mind, a very underrated actor and we see Barbara Hale here prior to her 'Perry Mason' days and Lloyd Bridges prior to his'Sea Hunt' underwater TV series. All in all, an enjoyable film for western devotees. I remember originally seeing this film at the weekly Friday night 'Ranch Night' at my local theater in the late 50s. If you like this film, be sure to see the 'Last Posse' with Broderick Crawford which is just as good, if not superior to this western.
