It isn't many westerns where the high point of the movie is the dancing but Russ Tamblyn put on an excellent exhibition of dancing, tumbling and acrobatics. Unfortunately the rest of the movie was way below par and even Jeanne Crain's beauty can not distract you from the utter nonsense going on all around her. Glenn Ford is once again the stoic hero shrouded in mystery and Crain is his steadfast wife. Broderick Crawford is woefully miscast as the crazed outlaw determined to best any man ever described in his presence as the fastest gun in the West. Watch it just to see if it would have been more interesting if you had written it yourself. I'm betting on you.
