This truly is one of the worst, if not "the" worst westerns I've ever seen for various reasons. I like most westerns and I would likely give some leeway for theatrical mistakes or bad camera work. But this one hits the mark on all things bad. The actors, perhaps with the exception of David Carradine and Jim Hilton, for the most part wouldn't make it in a dog food commercial. The dialog was dry and the deliveries were worse than a "B" rated porno. As for the location scenery, it was very good. But the set design and construction was right up there with current building standards. I did not realize they had plywood and parquet flooring back then. You can even see attic venting made out of aluminum.
As for the main actor (Jim Hilton) being an expert at shooting a long rifle, his ability at the dramatic scene lets the viewer somewhat dumbfounded. Come on, ten shots from 20 feet and not one man drops? The story line is taken from several other "Great" movies and blended with pure amateur high school movie making.
Again, I have to say, don't waste pop corn money on this one.
