    • Quotes

      Larry Madden: [Sniffs the air and moves his head toward Pearlo as he discovers the source of the scent] Nothing changes much. You're even using the same cheap-smellin' toilet water.

      Cibo Pearlo: You never did like that, did you?

      Larry Madden: It'll never take the place of a bath.

    Randolph Scott rides for vengeance ........
    Randolph Scott starred in many fine westerns in his decades-long career. His strong, gentlemanly demeanor gave way to steely determination when confronting the villains who were unfortunate enough to face him . This film again finds Scott out for vengeance in what turned out to be a pretty decent shoot-em-up film.

    Although Scott & John Dehner give their usual strong performances, the script ultimately lets them both down. It is full of clichéd western characters that hold few surprises for the seasoned viewer.

    All of Randolph Scott's films are worth seeing, but this film from late in his career was not his best. An average film from a great actor.

    Look fast for an appearance by character actor Dub Taylor !
