it be a while since i saw this movie and but i remember be impress with the performance of both fess parker and jeff chandler . the other person who comment on this movie imply the chandler character murder parker wife . i do not think that correct . he just dump her and she kill herself and or some sort of indirect thing like that . i have since hear part of the movie score on a soundtrack cd showcasing the music of jerome moross . wow . no wonder i like the movie and the score be really great with a drive main theme . look for a cd call the cardinal classic film score of jerome moross . there be 16 minute of music from the jayhawkers .
