This is an ordinary western for me, not better nor worst than an another one. And nothing here could announce the future career of the genius Roger Corman, for whom western will never be the best work. I although prefered GUNSLINGER from him, his best western for me. Corman showed his skills more in low budget science fiction but also some bigger budgets: ST VALENTINE SAY MASSACRE, VON RICHTOFFEN AND BROWN. But please, don't misundertsand me, this western is Ok, and if you are a Roger Corman fan, mainly for his sci-fi material, don't hesitate to see this one too. As we say in France, it won't break three legs to a duck, but it is worth watching. Such plot and character symphony is not so far from Budd Boetticher's westerns starring Randolph Scott, but here the character study is far from being so powerful, so outstanding as the Scott - Boetticher's movies.
