    This is a memorable B Western
    As the sun was slowly setting on the age of the B Western, this was at least one final shining moment. Not only does this film contain one of Johnny Mack Brown's finest performances, but it also has the benefit of supporting performances of equal caliber by some of the B Westerns' stalwart survivors (not the least of whom are Lyle Talbot, Christine McIntyre, and Myron Healy). Myron Healy also wrote a particularly strong and moving script. This now obscure film deserves a wider audience.
