Usually B & W Westerns that ran after the main feature in movie houses are superficial variations on the same theme. That this film might be different is evidenced by the strong cast. John Payne, Ruth Roman, J. Carrol Naish and Ben Johnson have been in several main feature films.
This one did not disappoint. A unique storyline, strong family ties by both the Willoughbys and the Masons provided a solid story with the ending not obvious.
I enjoyed this film and was surprised by how it moved me. I was impressed by the writer who came up with this idea. Rather than routine shoot 'em ups, we got a psychological story with enough going on to hold the viewer's interest without multiple scenes of B movie Western action. RECOMMENDED.
