Technicolor Studio A-Western with a Good Cast and an Off-Center Story of Bad-Men Planning to Rob the Gate at a Heavyweight Championship Bout in Carson City.
Dale Robertson Posing a Solid Figure is a bit Stiff as the Good-Bad Leader of His Bunch and Richard Boone as "Johnny Ringo" the Head of a Rival Gang makes a Slimy Villain.
Lloyd Bridges has a Meaty Part as Robertson's Brother.
Somewhat Plodding but Original Take on the Western in the Decade of Westerns.
The Romantic Triangle with the Beautiful Jeanne Craine and Carole Matthews Doesn't Amount to Much.
The Tension Builds Steadily in the Over-Crowded Town.
Leading to a Good Climax with the Robbery and Attempted Getaway.
Overall, the Off-Kilter Story and Luscious Production Helps this one Rise Above.
The Enormity of Westerns on the Big and Small Screen in the 1950's.
