Trivia
Frame Johnson mentions wanting to live to be an old man. With the exception of Wally Cassell, who lived to age 103, Ronald Reagan lived to an older age (93) than the rest of the male actors.

Goofs
During the climatic fight between Frame Johnson (Ronald Reagan) and Kurt Durling (Preston Foster), Durling punches Johnson and then vaults over a hitching post to continue the fight. When he vaults over the hitching post, Durling grips the post firmly with his supposedly useless "wooden hand" and uses it to boost himself over the post.

Quotes
Jeannie: [to Frame Johnson] You're big and you're ugly and you're stupid, and I happen to be in love with you.

A Decent Movie to Watch and Enjoy

Yes this is a classic Western tale of 'good guys' vs 'bad guys' which Hollywood loves to recycle. Ronald Reagan (Frame Johnson) gives a fine performance as a Cincinnatus type sheriff who is called upon to quell a lawless town. The supporting cast includes the crooked and bought town sheriff (Barry Elder) and the all-powerful town leader (Preston Foster). Dorothy Malone (Jeannie) and Ruth Hampton (Maria Durling) provide the suffering women-in-waiting roles very well. Russell Johnson (Jimmy Johnson) comes off well as the hot-headed, quick to action younger brother of Reagan. The movie has plenty of color, great location shots, fight scenes and tough talking bad guys. Dennis Weaver (Frank Durling) and Jack Kelley (Jed) make the most of their screen time. This movie stands on its own and I recommend it for anyone wanting so see Reagan give a fine performance.
