This episode makes excellent use of Ben Johnson and other superb horsemen racing through the dramatic sweep of the Arizona territory. The production values are so high, at times you'll think you're watching a John Ford Western. The Cartwrights play backdrop for the struggles of an old horse breaker and cattle driver played to sympathetic perfection by veteran Western star Ben Johnson. There are some great horse breaking and cattle driving scenes filmed with dramatic cinematography backed up by a grand score. There are none of the hokey sound stage scenes with painted backdrops here: nothing cheap looking about this production. Note the grandeur of the western skies and the rolling chaparral hills. It's remarkable for a TV Western serial episode: almost literally a breath of fresh air.
