Pleasant western for young people
18 November 2007 | by (United Kingdom) – See all my reviews

Barely a Western save in setting, as there's very little action apart from horse and cattle stampedes and a couple of scraps between two lads.Unusually, no woman features, save in the distant background and when McCrea pulls out a photograph of his girl-friend; the makers are to be congratulated on resisting the temptation to introduce some love interest.

The actors do well enough and there's some good scenery well photographed. The only thing that puzzled me was where the horse herd came from that the black stallion stampeded. It just seemed to appear, but I had a vague idea that it attached to the cattle drive, though this seems unlikely.
