      • Trivia
        According to a letter in John Wayne's files, Sammy Davis Jr. hoped this would be the film that he and Wayne had wanted for years to do together. A conflict in their commitment schedules prevented Wayne from making the film, which was originally intended for theatrical release, with Burt Kennedy directing.

      7/10
      Above average TV western.
      Aaron Spelling lends his gravitas to the ongoing love affair that the American TV audience has with their ridiculous motion of the historical wild west.

      This rose-tinted fairytale is no different, except there's some fine talent in front of the camera.

      Also, despite being half a century old, this movie has a level headed and mature approach to the issues of bigotry and racism.

      But the story is really an excuse to explore the development of trust and friendship between two cowboys on the trail of some Indians heading to Mexico. Both Earnest Borgnine and Sammy Davis Jr. Both rise above the silly story to make this worth watching.
