The Younger brothers were overshadowed in life by the James brothers and this has continued to be reflected in movies.Pictures where they have taken centre screen have been of a lesser quality than movies where they have played second fiddle to the James boys. This is a pretty dire Western ,one which depicts the notorious outlaws as saintly ,put -upon figures striving to remain within the law but hounded by a former Pinkerton agent who blames them for his lost job and for his crippled leg.Also striving to ensnare them is a woman outlaw who wants them as part of her bank robbery gang Stolidly acted by a second string cast and directed with little or no passion this is at least brief and can boast a lively musical score. Otherwise it is so routine as to be forgettable almost as soon as it ends.
