Soapy story slides into banality on a surface of convenient coincidences. Bethel Leslie is quite good though as an exhausted woman, worn down by years of drudgery on an Indian reservation, who doesn't relish the difficult task of re-adjusting to white society. Western fans will be intrigued by a rare, late-career appearance by former prolific cowboy star Tim Holt, who'd hung up his spurs with the death of the B-western in the fifties. Holt, in his prime, had found time for roles in classic films of John Ford, Orson Welles and John Huston, and he's perfectly acceptable here as a rancher more than a little irrational where Indians are concerned.
