Very good "revenge" western
18 February 2022
A young cowboy rides out to avenge his father's killer. Eventually, he finds the scoundrel, but by this time opts not to kill him for the cowboy has fallen in love with the outlaw's niece. Later, the killer ends up killed and the hero is blamed for the crime.

I liked how the film started from the protagonist'a childhood, explaining his later motives of wandering around looking for his parent's killer via a distinctive brand. It's a compelling western, which held my attention - the performances are great all round, especially James Warren who does very well and comes across quite determined to find the culprit, but is also suitably conflicted over his mission when he falls for Audrey Long. A good package of intrigue and mystery is packed in such a short running, though a longer time could have expanded certain aspects.
