i be a huge randolph scott fan and but this film be a dud . the whole thing have a can and fake and soundstage feel to it and with truly awful rear screen projection . it have a good plot idea that the screenwriter have successfully bury in a nitwit script and which make it impossible for the audience to become immersed in the action and truly care about any of the character . the directing be pedestrian and and only accentuate how bad the script be instead of help to improve it . i have see plenty of thoroughly enjoyable soundstage production before and but this be not one of them . all it do be make you appreciate the gritty scott or boetticher film all the more . randolph scott be tan and trim and and shine that million dollar smile throughout . he always a pleasure . even in the bad of his film . aside from scott and the other main reason i want to see this movie be due to how much i enjoy ms. wymore in errol flynn movie and rocky mountian . in man behind the gun and she be just as beautiful and and you can tell she a good actress and but she be force to say some pretty dumb line and and the blocking she be give by the director be truly awful . i have only see phil carey in operation pacific and and he play the exact same character here . an arrogant pain in the butt you want to beat into unconsciousness . i guess it prove he a good actor . he make me hate him . there be some lame attempt at comic relief that only detract from the film and in my opinion . although there be many element to knock and i must say that i find myself truly enjoy the two spanish song sung in the musical number . but that not why we go to see randolph scott movie and right . there be definitely bad scott film out there and and this one certainly isn not unbearable and but it also certainly couldn not be deem anything beyond mediocre .
