Yes, it's pretty hackneyed themes but it's well done with a couple of twists. The villains were real villains and the goodies real heroes.
Edmund O'Brian has never struck me as a handsome leading man who gets the girl eventually and, for me, is out of place here. Others play there parts well and the story line is good enough to keep you watching. I particularly enjoyed the obligatory fist fight sequence although there were some obvious stunt men substitutions.
Am surprised it, like others have been, was not remade in color to enhance the scenery and the action. Would seem ready made for the likes of George Montgomery etc.
Sit back, relax and enjoy- if you like westerns you won't be disappointed.
