What I love in this John Rawlins' film, is the character symphony, the place ones with the others. For instance, I love Dane Clark's role, a very ambivalent one, man seeking his young blind brother, and a man fighting against Ben Johnson, the "good" character of this interesting movie. The perfect proof that once in a while B pictures can provide good surprises. The triangle relationship between Dane Clark, Ben Johnson and Peter Graves is pretty unusual. I am glad to have watched this little western, made by a B director whose best films besides were exotic films for Universal: ARABIAN NIGHTS, SUDAN and a Sherlock Holmes adventure, but not the most terrific, despite Basil Rathbone's presence.
