This short mystery, possibly drastically overvalued by the very few people who know it, constitutes nonetheless a nice surprise to be offered by a phase in the evolution of the genre rather given to cliché.
When movie culture lacks, the praises and superlatives generously granted by the half-wits serve only to expose the ignorance involved. Kids, first learn some western; watch lots of such flicks, even read widely, and then pronounce solemn superlatives.
For those who lavish superlatives on this flick as if it were Hawks suddenly turned into Buñuel, it might be well to watch some WILD WILD WEST episodes or some European westerns from decades ago—for some genuinely creepy westerns.
The script drags the Mesquiteers into an adventure which is not specifically their own brand.
