    • Quotes

      Tom Cloud: I think you know who killed Juan.

      Sheriff Elmer Gall: All right. It was you who horned into this valley when there wasn't room for you.

      Tom Cloud: I made room - about fifteen mile!

      Sheriff Elmer Gall: Yeah, and if you expect me to hold onto it for you, you can go rope a duck.

      Tom Cloud: I don't expect anything from you. I came here to report a murder. And that's the last I'll hear of it.

      Sheriff Elmer Gall: I'm not so sure. I'm getting pretty sick of the trouble you bring on.

      Tom Cloud: Trouble? You don't know the meaning of the word.

    Decent Western
    This is a decent Western that has a couple of fine performances by Robert Preston,who makes a great bad-guy, as "Kid Wichita" and Cathy Downs,veteran of numerous Westerns,Film-noirs and Comedies,as "Kathleen Boyce".The Technicolor and the great editing are a plus,and there's also a well-done shoot-out in a canyon.This is a B-Western that's definitely worth a look.
