Too many fans seem to be blown away
Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
As usual with Republic Pictures movies from these years, this film is a mix up of western, romance, adventure, with a pinch of comedy. Costumes more than Indians or gunslingers. No stampede or pursuit either. But there is some bad guys. And a gal, lots of gals. You'll find here the usual scheme of the lead female character - Vera Ralston - torn between two men: Scott Brady and David Brian. Good story, classic one. But we can prefer William Wellman's WESTWARD THE WOMEN, concerning westerns starring a bunch of women in search of husbands.But can we compare the talented, the great Wellman and the only not so bad B director Springsteen?Can we?
