2.5/4
Charming and agreeable, it moves along at a good clip. Shot in widescreen saturated CinemaScope, ... it's entertaining in a predictable way. Go to Full Review
Christopher Lloyd Sarasota Herald-Tribune Jun 13, 2011
4/5
Because he was largely a journeyman filmmaker who took whatever jobs the studio assigned him, most historians and critics regard Michael Curtiz merely as a capable gun-for-hire who was lucky enough to find himself attached to good projects. Go to Full Review

A good old school western with solid acting, a great musical score, wonderful cinematography and beautiful desert scenery. Go to Full Review

B-
Wayne is decent, but this is a compromised Western due to the fact that ailing director Michael Curtiz (it's his last film) has no appreciation for the genre. Go to Full Review

Interesting, at times brutal, John Wayne western with strong cast and locale. Go to Full Review

B-
Lively and cheerful, but too banal to be a top-rate Curtiz or Wayne film; nevertheless it's a pleasingly entertaining film. Go to Full Review
