A great many westerns have used the Alabama Hills as backdrop, but this is not only one of the finest made there but one where the Hills share the spotlight. The mail way-station was built tucked away amongst the rocks and is the single set for all the story's action. That combined with a suspenseful story, excellent cast, and fine production values make it an underrated classic of the genre. Interestingly, the same could be said for Yellow Sky; albeit, it needed a number of locations with the much of the principle story also set in the Alabama Hills.
