    Unremarkable program western thats no different than any other western of the period except for its all black cast
    A good program western with an all black cast. To be honest I saw this before Murder and Harlem (a murder mystery that was on the same DVD) and by the time that I was ten minutes into that film I had pretty much forgotten the plot of this movie which had something to do with some bad guys trying to cheat a homesteader, who's daughter our hero has fallen in love with simply by seeing her picture. Pretty much if this was cast with any of the well known western stars this would have played exactly as it does here, though the side kicks antics would probably play differently (and had they been played by a black man in a white film may have been considered racist). If you like the program westerns of the 30's and 40's this is definitely worth a shot. Anyone else give it a go depending on your mood.
