★★★★★ · Excellent Randolph Scott Western · porterville · 2013-02-24

Most of Randolph Scott's movies were average to excellent. This one is well above average. A good plot, well paced, and a satisfactory climax. The acting by Scott and the supporting cast is good. Entertaining viewing for the fan of western movies.

★★★★★ · Greatest Western Ever! · klewsew · 2014-03-25

The greatest western ever made! Why you may ask. It was made in my town of Sedona, AZ. Anyone that lives here instantly recognizes the area throughout the movie. The picture ends as they ride off into the sunset between Bell Rock and Courthouse Butte with Gibraltar in the background.
