Clint Walker, Roger Moore and Chill Wills head up a pretty decent cast in this Warner Brothers feature. While it works okay, the biggest hole in it is the crook McCracken. While he is made to look smart once, he is one of the stupidist crooks ever to grace a Western Screen. Of course he is not supposed to be the stupid one, he just happens to be it.
Roger Moore who was working for Warners on Maverick got drafted into this third effort to make Walker (tvs Cheyenne) into a bankable movie star. He is Jim Rainbolt (Walker's) partner Shaun Garrett(Moore). Garrett gets off to a bad start when he gets caught stealing a horse, and mistakenly pays for the horse with a gold nugget. Then he leads McCracken and his gang to Rainbolt and their large load of gold. Thus begins a pursuit that lasts most of the film.
Chill Wills-Doc Wilson Gates, MD, is quite effective as an ally to Rainbold and Garrett. Gene Evans is McCracken, a very stupid crook. Letícia Román-Tita Gondora's 'Ward' and Robert Middleton as Amos Gondora are allies and enemies of Raiboldt. An amusing scene has Walker in a bath tub with Leticia giving him a back scrub. Moore has a strange accent throughout this film.
The road trip is supposed to be too seven saints and the pursuit by everyone is dogged and determined to steal these guys gold. While the film has some nice Monument Valley locations used, the black and white wide screen print of Warner's is okay, not outstanding. That sums up this western too, okay but not great.
