    good western
    The Union Army is losing horses to raiders in Colorado. A Confederate spy is suspected of passing route information. Respected veteran Major Lex Kearney (Gary Cooper) is dishonorably discharged for running away from a fight with superior enemy forces and losing a herd of horses. Later he gets arrested by the Army but he manages to escape with two raiders. Meanwhile, the Union is distributing a new revolutionary weapon in the Springfield rifle.

    This has Gary Cooper, the Rocky Mountains, and some good old fashion stunt work. This comes right after High Noon and probably lives in its shadow. It definitely is not quite as well filmed despite the Rocky Mountains backdrop. No horses are spared but the vision is missing. The stunt work is highlighted by a great wagon crash. All in all, this is a solid western.
