With the star power and storyline, I guess I expected more. Plus my mother always raved about it. Unfortunately, it is staged and shot like a Sixties TV western, such as Bonanza or Gunsmoke.

Rod Taylor is charismatic though, and I'm usually impressed by Ernie Borg nine. I just wish there was more action.

There is also the problematic subplot with the Indian conflict which somewhat dates the film. I fear a lot of Westerns will go the way of the Dodo due to this issue, and perhaps rightly so. Still, a lot of my favourite moments in Cinema do not hold up to scrutiny today.

This was included in a boxset of Westerns I purchased, and didn't really stand up to the others included. Worth watching, but hardly representative of the best of the genre.
