Featured review
Run-of-the-mill and ordinary Western about some getaway cowboys who pursue outlaws to recover stolen Union Army gold
Routine Western gains warmth from moving pursuits , Indian attacks , a discreetly elegiac tone and gently ironical humour thanks to Chill Wills who really steals the show . Twentieth Century Fox production with usual elements, such as noisy action , thrills, crossfire , drama, romance and some spectacular action scenes . Dealing with a cowboy called Tyler Duane (Gary Conway) searching for a stolen army payroll is joined by five others (James Mitchum , Alana Ladd , Barbara Mansell, Jody McCrea and Chill Wills) in order to retrieve a robbed loot and to receive the reward money . Concerning a merciless manhunt in which one of the pursuers called Morgan Coe (James Mitchum) , after killing a ranch foreman , elopes with the ranchers' daughter . Then a revengeful rancher is it out to kill one of the pursuers : Morgan Coe . Enraged at the death of his foreman and convinced that his daughter Lily Glendenning (Alana Ladd) was abducted , a land baron named Jesse Glendenning (Robert Lowery) leads a posse after his daughter . Thing go wrong when Indians Mescaleros suddenly attack . Blazing a New Trail of Courage!
Simple and plain Western paced in fits and starts about various young gunmen and two women who throughout dangerous ways are chased by the violent Mescaleros and pursued by the rancher's avengeful posse and being forced to side with his daughter's new husband and his friends . The first half is efficient but slow and predictable , at the intermediate period happens the relentless pursuit and in the end occurs the Indian assault . The picture contains frantic action , savage Indian hunting , breathtaking attacks and at the final a life and death battle ensues . The picture benefits itself of a good main and support cast formed by sons of notorious actors , such as : Jody McCrea/Joel McCrea , James Mitchum/Robert Mitchum and Alana Ladd/Alan Ladd , its is the real gimmick of the movie . Along the way is developed a love triangle in which implicates James Mitchum and Alana Ladd who is also in love with Gary Conway .
It is a regular , but acceptable and passable Western , that packs a colorful cinematography by John M. Nickolaus Jr . Being shot on location in Sonoran Desert , Arizona , Tucson, Sierrita Mountains , Santa Rita Mountains, Santa Catalina Mountains , Arizona, and Big Bend National Park , Texas . It displays an atmospheric musical score by Paul Sawtell and catching songs by Kenny Miller . The motion picture written by Harry Spalding , being produced in short-budget and middlingly directed by Maury Dexter . He was a prolific a director who worked hardly until finishing in shooting TV series . A clerical job at Robert L. Lippert's Regal Films eventually led to producing and directing gigs at that independent production company. He was head of production of Regal Films, a division of Lippert Pictures where many of the movies were shot in seven days on $100,000 budgets . He spent in Regal Films long time , making quickies for the low-budgeted financer Robert Lippert , his favorite producer . He directed over 20 features there, at American International Pictures and abroad before he became, for the first time in his career, an assistant director . Dexter directed all kinds of genres action , Youthful movies , thrillers , Adventures , Sci-Fi , Film Noir , Wartime , and Westerns such as : The Mini-Skirt Mob , Maryjane , Wild on the Beach , The Naked Brigade , Raiders from Beneath the Sea , Surf Party , The Young Swingers , Harbor Lights , Police Nurse , House of the Damned , The Day Mars Invaded Earth , The Firebrand , Air Patrol , Womanhunt , The Purple Hills , The High Powered Rifle , Django condemned , among others . At the end his days Dexter working mostly for Michael Landon on his TV series Little house on the prairie (1974) and Highway to Heaven (1984). Landon's 1991 death prompted Dexter to retire. Rating : 5.5/10 .
