Offbeat, violent six-shooter melodrama, 14 June 2003
Author: dairymaid455546

Although this B-movie western covers all the cliches you would expect, there are a few unusual elements. The villain, played by Don Megowan, starts as a somewhat sympathetic character but gradually becomes more sadistic and violent. The supposed good guy, played by Jim Davis, kills a man with his bare hards by drowning him in a shallow pool of pig excrement and water! Allison Hayes has almost nothing to do here except she is very small compared to the hulking leading men (who are at least six foot tall). And there is a surprising bit of nudity by Toni Turner during a scene of the gang of thieves gamboling in a muddy pond and eating melon! Imagine going to see this twisted, low budget six-shooter revenge melodrama at the bijou in 1959! Directed by the man who later made MUMMY AND THE CURSE OF THE JACKAL.
