    • Trivia
      Bat Masterson mentions to Allen Harper that he has ambitions to be a journalist someday. The real Masterson lived to be sports editor of the "New York Morning Telegraph".
    • Goofs
      Although there was a drought in the area of Liberal, Kansas, located in Seward County, Kansas, Masterson was not a U.S. Marshal there. He was elected sheriff of Ford County. He was elected in 1877 and subsequently voted out in 1879. His brother Ed Masterson, not Bat, was marshal of Dodge City.

      Allen Harper: [Trying to read his fiancee's letter, which is all crumpled] Billy, you've got this thing so messed up I can't read it.

      Billy Burns: Would you like to know what it says?

      Allen Harper: Oh, you've been readin' it!

      Billy Burns: Oh, you and me ain't got no secrets from each other, do we?

      Allen Harper: Well, I hadn't planned on sharing my girl with you.

      Billy Burns: Mebbe not after you're married, eh? She wants you to go ridin' with 'er. I've got Red all saddled up ready to go!

      Allen Harper: Well, why didn't you say so? I've got to get dressed.

      Billy Burns: [as Allen is putting on a tie] No, no, no! Not that one!

      Billy Burns: [Handing him another tie] There you are!

      Allen Harper: [Looking at the die with distaste] Why, that's too loud!

      Billy Burns: It's the one she give yuh fer yer birthday, ain't it? You ain't even wore it once. A woman don't shy a leetle might of color when she's bein' sparked.

      Allen Harper: Whatta you know about women?

      Billy Burns: Who me? Why I've had women from Arkansas to Zanzibar. No matter what they're thinkin' I'm jeest a jackrabbit hop ahead of 'em!

    Enjoyable fluff--thanks, in part, to Gabby Hayes
    I am a fan of Randolph Scott Westerns. While some of them are amazingly clichéd (as are most Westerns of this era), his easy delivery and style really elevate the films to classic and near-classic status. While this film features yet another example of real life Western heroes being exploited after their death by Hollywood (in this case, Bat Masterson), the film works well due to him as well as excellent supporting characters. One is the always strong acting of Robert Ryan--an excellent actor who is sadly almost forgotten today. The other is the ubiquitous Gabby Hayes who has one of his best roles as the crusty and very colorful deputy. Here he is more enjoyable than in his many supporting roles for Roy Rogers and John Wayne--mostly because his part is better written and he's given more to do.

    The plot is pretty much the plot of half the Westerns ever made. There are some baddies who hire a bunch of thugs to run roughshod over the locals and it's up to a do-gooder (Scott) to restore the peace and kill off the villains. However, how the plot is executed is much better than average and due to this the film is still watchable fun. Just don't expect a whole lot of innovation or uniqueness--unless you want to see what might just be Gabby Hayes' best performance.
