    7/10
    ENTERTAINING ECHOING WESTERN WITH A FEW GOOD SHOOT-EM' UP SCENES
    More than Lose Remake of "My Darling Clementine" (1940) the John Ford Classic.

    Rory Calhoun Vehicle with a Smattering of Gun-Play with a "Powder River" Ferry-Boat Scene a Highlight.

    Good Cast with Cameron Mitchell as the Doomed Doctor and Corinne Calvet as "Frenchy" a Fiesty Saloon-Owner-Gal making an Impression.

    Never Reaching Heights of its Own, the Movie is Watchable for the Cast, Technicolor, and Proven Story.

    Rory Calhoun is a bit More Animated than Usual.

    The First-Half is the Better Half.

    But Still Maintains Enough Interest to Carry yet Another 1950's Western to its Predicable Feel-Good Exit for Post-War Western Fans who were Legion.
