Fun Gun-Slinging Action

For a western film, it's a pretty fun watch. Two of my favorite actors are in this one which makes it all that much better: Lon Chaney and Deforest Kelley.

Tom Rosser is hired to help clean and straighten up a town where some of the folks in the area want to keep the town as wild as possible - and running it the way they want it ran, not the way mayor and law want it to be. It's up to Rosser take the men out get the town back to good.

The movie does take a few turns which keeps the story on the interesting side. All the actors give fine performances - so it's worthwhile watching if you like a good old fashioned gun-slinging western film.

7.5/10

Trivia
In a hotel lobby fight scene against Dana Andrews, DeForest Kelley was doubled by a very recognizable Michael Landon, making his sole stunt double appearance in a feature film.

Goofs
Susan Tavaner's (Terry Moore) hair was so modern, and the lipstick color definitely 1960s.

Quotes
Tom Rosser: Howdy, M'am.
Mary Donley: Howdy. We have steak and beef stew, and steak and beef stew.
Tom Rosser: Which one do you recommend?
Mary Donley: Neither. The beef's tough. But it's all we've got. And I suggest black coffee; the milk's turning sour.
Tom Rosser: Well, at least you're honest. I'll leave it up to you.
Mary Donley: [calls to the kitchen] Beef stew!
