The casting of the English Milland and the Viennese Lamarr in a story set in the american west is a bit of a head scratcher but the film is a pleasant enough diversion. There are some stiff performances, Mona Freeman in particular but the color photography is gorgeous as is Hedy. An enjoyable picture but unremarkable.
