Keeping in mind this western classic was released in 1949 more than seventy (70) years earlier when film censorship was at its peak. I felt that the director Mark Robson, took liberties with the films storyline about four loose and attractive saloon girls that was borderline risky for the times, and kudos to him for doing so.
The story is filled with personal stories of survival in the rough surrounding hilly countryside by the exiled saloon girls, three escaped convicts who come after the ladies and their rancher hero brothers the young Steve and older brother Clay played respectively by Claude Jarman Jr. And Robert Sterling.
It is a very entertaining classic western if you consider it was released in 1949 so keep that in mind when listening to the dialogue of the saloon ladies and how tame the escaped convicts seem to behave.
I give this early western a more than respectable 7 out of 10 IMDb rating.
