This quirky little western is no more than mediocre but it sports a number of odd touches that you won't see elsewhere. The high point (or low point) comes when Chuck Connors is branded on his 45-inch chest with a red-hot iron shaped like a "T." Also worth noting is an eclectic, one-of-a-kind supporting cast which manages to find room for Bill Bixby, Jamie Farr, James MacArthur, Arthur O'Connell, Michael Rennie, Frank Gorshin, Gary Merrill, Paul Fix, and Claude Akins, as well as three veteran actresses: Joan Blondell, Ruth Warrick, and Oscar-winner Glorida Grahame. What a marquee! This is also one of the few westerns told in flashback and one of the few to feature, among its characters, a census-taker.
