Dependable Randolph Scott climbs up onto his saddle once more to play a former Texas Ranger who becomes the Sheriff of a town that's about to find itself at the epicentre of a rash of bank robberies carried out by a variety of real-life outlaws. He takes the job in order to nab a surly, brooding Sundance Kid (Robert Ryan) who is a million miles from the easy-going anti-hero played by Robert Redford twenty-odd years later. Ray Enright keeps the story moving at a breakneck pace and keeps it entertaining from first reel to last. Recommended.
