Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn 1972-73, Edward Platt ("The Chief" in Get Smart (1965)) raised enough money to produce this film, which was one of the first independent color movies shot partially on videotape. It was actually the first western to use videotape on location. Platt saw the many advantages of using videotape rather than film, and his crew shot the production with portable TV cameras (Norelco PCP-70 NTSC analog television system and the Philips PC-70 studio color camera) along with the Ampex VR-3000 two-inch portable video tape recorder). Once completed, the images were transferred to 35mm film format for it's theatrical release.
- Alternate versionsThe UK video version was cut by 4 secs to remove a horse-fall.

Featured review
Unconvincing and disappointing
The best features of this film are the scenery and Jay Silverheels in a part where he can show some emotions, compared with his stonefaced Tonto. In fact it's Ford who is bland for much of the film, despite the tragic loss of his son which is meant to have shaped his character; only in the very last scene does he convey real emotion - without saying a word.
The plot is unconvincing several times over. At the beginning one would have thought four tough guys could have stood and fought rather than flee from Santee, renowned bounty-hunter he may be. After a brief wish for revenge, the orphaned Jody seems to too readily accept Santee as a surrogate father, and in the version of the film I saw I never noticed any evidence that he had become a gunman competent enough to accompany Santee against six more tough guys.
A disappointment.
