Goofs

When the three bandits get away out the back side of the burning house after the failed robbery attempt at the Wells Fargo office at night, the men who had the whole town staked out didn't even attempt to stop them. There is no way they would have left the back of the house unguarded for so long, after burning them out they would have the house surrounded.

User Reviews

1930's western made with 1960's equipment

Watching this will remind you of the B westerns of the 30's.

However it was made in the late 60's and looks like everything else made by Universal in the late 60's and early 70's when Universal was making a lot of money from TV. It's also a 1.33 film, so it was probably originally made for TV.

It's one of those "I've seen it once, I don't need to see it again" movies.
