Good western from RG Springsteen

That was not the first time that Audie Murphy and Charles Drake co starred: remember NO NAME ON THE BULLET and TO HELL AND BACK. And I am sure there were other features starring both. This one is a good early sixties western, made by a rough specialist, showing a good character portraits, rather moving, and bringing good scenes, shots, camera angles. This is not enough to make it exceptional but it is for me one of the best from RG Springsteen. Maybe after all RG Springsteen was a talented director who was just not ambitious enough to deliver many gems, or lucky enough to have good producers to deal with. So please, don't miss this gritty western, not the worst from Audie Murphy.
