Decent Western
1 August 2014
A troop of Confederate soldiers, led by Randolph Scott, attack a wagon train in Nevada carrying gold for the Union Army. They kill the soldiers and take the gold, only to discover immediately after that the war has been over for a month. The troops now find themselves on the run with the gold, pursued by a posse. But is the posse out to bring the men to justice or just to steal the gold for themselves?

Nice Technicolor western with a good cast. Randolph Scott always does good work and he's backed up here by a fine bunch of actors, including Lee Marvin, Frank Faylen, Richard Denning, Ray Teal, and Claude Jarman, Jr. Donna Reed is lovely as usual. The plot's pretty straightforward and predictable. This isn't a Mann or Boetticher western but it's pleasant enough.
