Review

A star rating of 2 out of 5.

Adrian Turner

This routine gold-rush western stars John Payne as a gambler, with Rhonda Fleming as his saloon-owner girlfriend and Ronald Reagan as a cowboy arriving to marry his sweetheart (Coleen Gray) who turns out to be a "loose woman". More of a melodrama than a shoot-em-up, the picture was made by RKO in SuperScope to rival Fox's new CinemaScope process. However, it's clumsily shot, with a hand-me-down look, and was one of many disappointing pictures from the late career of director Allan Dwan. A veteran of Hollywood's early dawn in 1911, Dwan is best remembered for the marvellous 1922 version of Robin Hood with Douglas Fairbanks.
