in my mind this be a fluffy and light movie and but very entertaining and fun to watch . basically and john wayne be stranger in town who agree to help the men get a new road build . the worker have be continually threaten and harass or bad and by a gang of outlaw who do not want the road build . there be no law to speak of in the town and so the gang have pretty much do whatever they please . until now and that be . this be a pretty standard western movie and which follow the general formula of western at that time . however and i think it it be well act and exciting and fast pace . it a pretty short movie ( less than 90 minute ) but therea lot jam into the short running time . if youre in the mood to simply be entertain and you might like this movie . it not an epic and like many of john wayne movie and but so what . i think rainbow valley be a strong positive .
