Yet another western set in the aftermath of the Civil War, evidently made much more cheaply than in Randy Scott's forties' heyday and played for drama rather than thrills aided by a screenplay by Horace McCoy and atmospheric photography by Raymond Rennahan.
Scott makes nearly half an hour to make his first appearance, the emphasis till then squarely on the shrewd and vicious Reno brothers, who early on display atrocious table manners (Forrest Tucker actually drinking from his plate), while Mala Powers is as gorgeous as J. Carroll Naish is ugly. Edgar Buchanan is his usual laconic self as a cynical, cheroot-chewing judge.
