OK, so this isn’t a very good film and there do appear to be a few scenes from others really obviously intercut into it, but I thought James Mitchum, Alana Ladd and Jody McCrae did fine in this entirely derivative adventure western. A payroll has been pinched, a loved-up couple have eloped, a posse has been formed to track them down and there are some marauding Apache. What’s not to like? It was “Duane” (Gary Conway)…
