It's a really pleasant western that is something a bit different. There are not any big skies except the odd sun set and nothing of the mountains. But instead there are a lot of cattle and a drive in dust. There are not really any stars but many people we recognise them from several films, such as Billy Green Bush and Luke Askew. The young teenager, Gary Grimes had been in a couple of films and the year before he was in Summer of '42 (1971). He joins the Culpepper company as he wanted to be a cowboy and he does. The cattle are impressive and although there is action it is rather realistic and the cowboys all look much the same as any others. At the end there is more action and the gunfight with a lot of going on confusing with the church settlers in the middle remind me of Peckinpah. Nothing thrilling going on but still it is rather splendid.
