A passable western. I take that back. If you like mildly pleasant songs, and Miss Rodriguez occasionally shooting off her mouth, and Mr. Garralaga's mildly tedious attempts at comic relief, plus a bit of mild action against some mildly attractive background scenery, you'll enjoy Susanna Pass. True, for the rest of us, there are some rousing bits of stunt-work from Dave Sharpe (who has an on-screen role as well), but Douglas Fowley overplays the heavy and the climax seems somewhat short on action. Nonetheless, there is a fair brawl between Rogers's obvious stuntman and Sharpe at Keane's newspaper office. However, the best stunt has Sharpe doubling for Rogers transferring himself from a less noble steed to Trigger in mid-gallop during the final chase. Miss Evans, here making a return to the series, has a lively enough role, though she is none too attractively photographed. On the whole, this entry stacks up as pretty fair entertainment if your expectations are not too high — and you're a rabid Rogers fan.
