This is a a fun western. It introduced the John Wayne persona which he cultivated through the next decades and made him the legendary icon of the west. The movie is very entertaining and Ella Raines as a hot-tempered female gunslinger has great chemistry with Wayne. Gabby Hayes does his usual old cuss,and provides the movie's best comedy parts. The story mixes romance,comedy and mystery elements and blends them into a an above average western programmer. There are some great scenes in the movie: The poker game and the showdown between Wayne and a drunken bad guy. If you're looking for a good time you should watch this entertaining little western.
