As far as the eye can see, this western adventure is firmly rooted in cliché territory. Featuring John Hodiak and John Derek, both more famous for being married to stars (Hodiak to Anne Baxter, Derek to a string of blondes including Ursula Andress, Linda Evans and Bo Derek) than being stars themselves, this has a formula plot in which four ex-cons seek lost loot in a ghost town. There aren't enough sharp twists in the story or characterisations to shake it up, but the swoop of the Apaches is well done and the finale shows a lack of racial discrimination rare for its time. A standard western, certainly, but with some surprising lumps in the usual porridge.
