Ordinary oater with a quality cast. Jean Arthur, always more at home in a business suit or city wear, seems uncomfortable in her role. She tries too hard to be at home in the western setting and therefore sticks out like a sore thumb. William Holden, still 10 years away from his mega-stardom, is more at home on the range and while callow makes a believable cowpoke. The rest of the cast is full of reliable supporting players, Edgar Buchanan is a standout, and the script isn't bad although it blows the climax by having it happen off screen. It also runs a little long, it could have been a half hour shorter with no loss to the story. For fans of the stars or westerns it's worth catching but nothing special.
