    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Although the story is fictional, it is inspired by a real incident in which a posse from a California town had a shoot-out with convicts escaped from the Carson City prison. Convict Lake is a real place in California, named after the incident.
    • Goofs
      In the beginning when the convicts make their way into the village of Lake Monte Diablo, Granny grabs a 45/70 single shot rifle from the wall and hands it to Marcia to cover the men.

      When the women go outside to meet the men, Marcia points the rifle at the men & warns them.

      As she raises the rifle, viewers can clearly see that Marcia is now holding a Henry lever action repeating rifle.
    • Quotes

      Granny: What do you want?

      Johnny Greer: Get out of that bed.

      Granny: What are you up to?

      Johnny Greer: Get up.

      Granny: I can't. I'm a poor old woman lying in a bed of pain reading my bible, you blood thirsty weasel.

    good Western, hang in there for the second half
    I just want to say that this is a better than average western with a good cast. The first half was rather slow, boring and uneventful. I was about to turn it off, but I fortunately stayed with it. The second half really came to life with lots of action, a fast moving intricate plot and soap opera-like goings on.

    It's interesting that the resolution is similar to Glen Ford's oater "The Fastest Gun Alive," another good Western.

    The whole cast shined. Besides Ford and Tierney, Zachary Scott and Ann Dvorak were compelling.

    Though not an "A" production by 20th century Fox, it was far from the typical "B" production values. The cinematography (Leo Tover), acting, music, dialog, etc. were all top-notch.
