Copyright 2 December 1951 by Monogram Pictures Corporation. No recorded New York opening. U.S. release: 2 December 1951. U.K. release through Associated British-Pathé. 53 minutes. Cut to 48 minutes for U.K. release.
Alternative title: LONE STAR LAWMAN.
COMMENT: Here's a "B"-grade western that will especially please our younger fans. No females in the cast at all. Not one. On the other hand, excellent action footage includes a marvellous stunt in which the sheriff is shot from his horse right in front of the camera. Attractive actual location photography too. A pity Brown is getting a bit paunchy, but he still handles himself well in a fist fight. Also a shame that a few dull passages intrude - these were cleverly eliminated from the U.K. version - but director Collins keeps things moving.
