What a terrific John Sturges' early western, and also a forgotten one, except for the die hard movie goers. It is a really worth watching movie, so riveting, tense, unforgettable, offering awesome scenes. And it is not a long film, so short that it could have been a bit longer. Good characterization, and rather not that predictable. Treasure hunt has rarely been evoked in westerns; the most famous being MACKENNA'S GOLD. This one is more modest in terms of budget, but who cares? It is a John Sturges' movie, western, and it definitely deserves to be watched at all costs. And Randolph Scott directed by John Sturges, not that common.
