most of u kid grow up in the 40 or 50 be western buff but this be one that have escape me until see on the movie for men channel today . i love the film story and cinematography as well a the superb casting of ben johnson and harry carey jr. in the lead role along with the ever dependable ward bond . apparently this movie be the inspiration for the late television series wagon train which feature bond once again a the bos of the wagon train head west . johnson steal the film with his horse rid skill and it nice to see an actor do his own stunt like ben do in this movie . other notable include the lovely joanne dru a denver and an early non speak role for james arness who later become famous for his marshal matt dillon role in gunsmoke . if you like film of this genre you can not fail to like this one .
