    Just Okay
    Western novelist Jack Schaefer's follow-up to SHANE, THE SILVER WHIP is turned into a "shaky A" with Dale Robertson, Rory Calhoun, and Robert Wagner in the lead as an ambitious young stage driver. While this black-and-white effort lacks the visual grandeur of George Stevens' masterpiece, and the cast all right. and.... well, this is a good B western, with some nice outdoor photography by Lloyd Ahern Sr.

    Director Harmon Jones doesn't seem to push anyone too hard, but it's a well-told story. It's clear they were feeling ambitious with this one. They screenplay is pretty good. I's simply that they chose to tell the story with melodramatic intentions, rather than the simple way that George Stevens' masterpiece did.
