And only for this, it deserves to be seen, even at a lesser scale than the original, made by william Wellman. Robert D Webb was a pretty effective director for Twentieth Century Fox, maybe not ambitious but good enough for my taste. He brought westerns and adventure movies. This one should have been made in LBX frame and I don't know why it is not. Vincent Price in a very unusual role for him, a positive hero, very different from his Roger Corman's films ones, adapted from Edgar Allan Poe, where he was very very different from what he is here. The actor Robert Gunner looks very like Sean Connery ten years before; I first though it was him, but when I realized that the film was from 1967, I realized my mistake. Yes, a worth viewing unusual western, even a remake. Anyway, keep in mind that there are soo many films which are not DECLARED remakes, but only "anonymous" copies.
