Excellent casting in this color B western, foremost the appearance of legendary bad guy Zachary Scott, a treat to watch.
Randolph Scott plays an earnest gun salesman, promoting the new Colt .45 revolver. Of course, this all catches the attention of notorious killer and thief Jason Brett (Zachary Scott) who steals the guns and goes on to terrorize the town. Scott is priceless in this role, and catch the scene where he arrogantly lights a cigarette, striking the match off his pants.
It's one over the top scene.
Great supporting cast with Ruth Roman (as Beth), who would next star in the classic film, THREE SECRETS. This may have been a quickie role for her, but she's perfectly cast here, especially opposite Zachary Scott. Honorable mentions to Alan Hale (in one of his last roles), as the sheriff who gets an arrow in his chest! Also Lloyd Bridges guest stars (soon to appear in HIGH NOON), and famous Chief Thundercloud.
See if you can spot old time western actor, Monte Blue as one of the townsfolk.
I agree with the notes. This was set in 1851, however there are electric lights? Zachary Scott, in fact, smashes all the lights in the room, and you can see the wires. Electric lights were NOT invented for another 30 years! A minor, but obvious flaw.
Very good direction by Edwin L. Marin, who had fun with Zachary Scott's tough hombre character.
Thanks much to GRIT TV for running this 10 Star oldie, and for all us Rabdolph Scott fans. Always on remastered dvd.
