Great name for a Western flick, but that's the only draw for this run of the mill 'B' programmer that doesn't even have a name actor in the leading role. You'll have to keep track of a good guy being a bad guy being a good guy before it's all over, as Billy Wade (James Brown, but not any of the ones you know) tries to get the drop on villain Ike Garvey (Walter Coy) and convince his nephew Ted (John Wilder) that he's not part of the Garvey gang. There's a half million dollars in cash riding in on the stagecoach to make things interesting, but didn't it strike you as odd that Garvey would empty those two strongboxes filled with bills and coins right out on top of a massive rock outcrop? Couldn't you just picture a big wind whipping up a la 'Sierra Madre' and blowing the whole shebang away in a heartbeat? You know, they never showed the cash again, so who knows?
Caught this on the Encore Western channel today, intrigued by the title, but not much of a thriller. No Wyatt Earp or OK Corral, just your standard formula Western with the hero committed to a date at the altar in the finale, which even a bullet couldn't prevent.
