- TriviaINSIDE JOKE: George Montgomery's character's name was on the wanted poster as he went racing by with a posse in hot pursuit. A quick read on the poster showed the name is "Bret Ivers AKA Bret Iverson." Location work for this film was shot on the well-known Iverson Ranch in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles, CA.

Silver Kirby: Now I wonder what Cabeau saw in those two to worry about?
Denver Jones: Maybe it's the way they sling the artillery... Texas-style: low and handy.

A Couple of Nail-Biter Scenes
The script sprawls some, but the oater's well cast and entertaining. Three Secret Service agents led by Ivers (Montgomery) go undercover to break up a gold smuggling ring in Cripple Creek, headed by a smug city slicker, Silver (Bishop). Two sequences are real nail-biters—the Russian roulette scene that's really well done, and the smelter scene that pays good attention to detail. Then again, there's the silly barroom brawl that suggests the influence of a kids' matinée feature. Really, George Cleveland's crusty old grouch is all the comedy relief that's needed. Anyway, the western's uncommonly well cast with familiar faces up and down the line. The script even manages a good surprise at the end. As a former resident of the real Cripple Creek, however, I'm surprised at how much that mountain town is supposed to resemble LA's San Fernando Valley, as though that matters entertainment-wise. Anyway, it's a pretty good western somewhere between an A and B production.
(In passing-- the Cripple Creek gold camp was a boom town for several decades; then became a near-ghost town in the 1950's after the price of gold was frozen; but has lately revived with casino gambling and a and a return to market pricing. It's got a magnificent scenic view across a hundred miles of South Park to the main range of the Rockies. So visit there if you can.)
