Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaProducer A.C. Lyles stated in later years that Paramount costume designer Edith Head would pull clothing from Paramount wardrobe stock for his low-budget films off the record as a favor to him, since he could not afford her salary on his tiny budgets. In the case of this film, she advised Lyles that she would have her seamstresses in the wardrobe department who were not busy at the time make up new period clothing for Betty Hutton, since she already had Hutton's measurements from her heyday in Paramount films from the 1940s and early 1950s. These costumes were to keep the seamstresses busy during a lull in productions at Paramount and replace old wardrobe stock. That way Lyles would not be financially responsible for the new clothing items being made off the record for Hutton, who was to make her return to the screen with this western.
Featured review
AC Lyles usual stuff
You know AC Lyles, the specialist in recycling old movie stars, not the biggest as he Duke or Dick Widmark, but stars enough anyway. Those films were all westerns, all made in the late sixties, but not on the Sam Peckinpah's nor Monty Hellman's way, no specially gloomy films, but on the old fashioned way - with old actors, as we had in the fifties, with the hero, the villain and so on. The usual stuff. Nothing terrific. Only THE BOUNTY KILLER, starring Dan Duryea, during that same period, was worth watching, but though it seemed AC LYles productions, it was not. So, back to this one, that may be the thousandth western taking place just after Little Big Horn massacre, some kind of Nam disaster and national scar before its time, a nightmare, a tragedy, which the American film industry must, ot at least try to exorcise, this at any cost. This story was already used, over used, far too much to prevent the audiences to feel asleep. Gun smugglers and machine gun traffic, with Indians in the middle. Nothing special.
