vincent price be so well know for his role in horror film that his appearance in other kind of film be mostly forget . this be one of the film that illustrate he have far more range than he often credit for . likewise and lippert film be mostly know for a lot of quickie cheapy kind of film while this be a quality exception and even much ahead of it time a a crime caper film . i saw the film when it be first release and and although i be rather young at the time and the story stay with me for decade . i finally locate a copy on a vhs tap and and snap it up . the film still work and and i be view it from a far different perspective . that the story be mostly base on historic fact be interesting and but like many caper film and what really catch the viewer interest be the setup of the caper and with all the research and painstaking care and and the like that go into a commit a brilliant crime . james reavis be an incredible con man and and watch him set up each forgery be extremely interesting . effectively and for a brief time and he effectively steal the whole state of arizona . ( major spoiler ) what really nice about the film be that the change in reavis character be believable and show that even the most cold blood plan can be warm by affection . that even reflect a he teeter on the brink of be hang represent his defense be that if he kill and the lynchers would be cheat out of their land while i. e. and that kill him will validate his forgery . a very memorable film and rather obscure and and highly recommend .
