GamerTab That was an excellent one.

ScoobyWell Great visuals, story delivers no surprises

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

weezeralfalfa This western uses the gimmick of 3 sons or daughters of famous actors being used to fill about half the major roles. These are James Mitchum, Alana Ladd, and Jody McCrea. More cryptically, it included Barbara Mansell, as Martha Jane Canary: the birth name of Calamity Jane. Judging by some old photos, Barbara was notably better looking than Calamity! We have basically 4 groups that are involved in part or most of the story. Group A consists of 7 former Civil War soldiers, led by the brother of Tyler Duane(Gary Conway), plus his wife, apparently. They have stolen a $30,000. Union payroll. and are heading toward a Mescalero Apache territory, in SE NM, or Texas, perhaps on the way to Mexico. These Apache constitute a significant risk to their lives and treasure. However, it turns out that their comrades are just as murderous, the first victims being Tyler's brother and his apparent wife, until only 2 are left when they engage the other groups in a climactic shootout........Group B consists of several young men, played by Mitchum, McCrea, and Gary Conway(Tyler). In addition, there's veteran Chill Wills, as unordained minister Sam Shelby, and bride Lily Coe(Alana Ladd), formerly Lily Glendenning, just married to Morgan Coe(Mitchum), although it's unclear how legitimate this marriage is. Morgan and Lily are running away from Lily's father, Jesse, who is out to kill Morgan and bring Lily back home. He is the leader of Group C: hot on the heels of Group B. Meanwhile, Tyler, of Group B, is intent on capturing the money held by Group A, and returning it to the US Army. Group D: a band of Mescalero, don't want any of the above groups passing through their territory. I forgot to mention that Martha Jane((Barbara Mansell) joined Group B, along the way. Why, instead of tending her cattle? My guess is she thought Lisa could use some female companionship. Also, she was running from Lisa's father(Group C), whose cattle she had rustled. See the film to find out the result of the big 4 way gun battle, and its aftermath......I thought none of the offspring of the famous actors had any appreciable charisma. It was up to Chill Wills and Barbara Mansell to supply the charisma......See it at YouTube.

kfo9494 The movie contains a bunch of Hollywood actor's offspring in a Western about...about....well it's about three groups of people all out in the western wilderness with different agendas.You first have six rebels and one union officers and a chick that have stole a large amount of money. Not much is revealed about the eight but they have the money and going through Indian territory. -- Then you have one person chasing the group, Tyler Duane (Gary Conway) along with his friend, Jeff Shelby (Jody McCrea) and two other people that have just married and want a new start in a different location, Morgan Cole (James Mitchum)and Lily Glendenning (Alana Ladd)also along for the ride is a preacher Sam Shelby (Chill Wills). ---Now on the trail of the five is the father of the new bride, Jesse Glendenning (Robert Lowery), and his bunch, that think his daughter has been kidnapped. Now the entire group is in the Apache territory that will only lead to one after another being killed for a variety of reasons.There is more going on in this long story than 'just the chase'. There are family members in different groups and also old friendships that have turned sour. All these experience add to the situation as the group makes there way through the dangers of the early west.The concept of the story seemed to be an interesting tale. However, the screenplay, along with the suspicious acting abilities, made the story feel like a much longer trek than needed. There were actually some very good scenes in the movie but there just was not much feeling in the heart of the actors. After the first thirty minutes, I thought this was going to be a terrible movie but as things settle down and we got some western action going, the film became somewhat interesting. And the glue that kept the viewer's attention was the veteran actor Chill Wills. Who would have thought?

Edgar Soberon Torchia Gary Conway is the real protagonist of this western, although the siblings of Joel McCrea, Robert Mitchum and Alan Ladd were given top credit. But James Mitchum had no charisma, and Alana Ladd was not a good actress, so the best parts of the film are carried out by Conway, Jody McCrea, and Chill Wills.The film starts well when Conway arrives in a town controlled by a nasty landowner. He is following a patrol of Southern rebels carrying stolen money. But then the attention turns to the romance of the landowner's daughter (Ladd) and a guy raised by Indians (Mitchum). As things get more complicated and the film demands higher production values, the budget betrays everybody's effort, making everything look really cheap.

Bear-112 I was surprised to see no comments on this movie, which has certainly been on TV fairly recently (at least in the UK). I also saw it in the cinema in the UK when it first came out. It is in many ways a typical Western of the early sixties, starring actors straight out of contemporary TV series, who looks as if they belong to a Beach Party movie rather than the real Wild West! This film is also famous for starring a string of children of more famous stars. It begins at a good pace, with Gary Conway arriving in town, having an extensive fist fight, and meeting Jody McCrea. After that it becomes increasingly boring & pedestrian, and I couldn't give away the ending, because I don't really remember it! So my advice is, make sure you watch the beginning, but don't bother too much if you miss the end!
