Rating:  - recorded in SLP :((

One time second-unit director Joseph H. Lewis' status as auteur is in evidence here. Frank Lovejoy, Richard Carlson, Russ Tamblyn and Lamont Johnson give grim performances.

Frank Lovejoy is believable as is the rest of the cast although some of the characters are portrayed rather lightly given the historic ... Read More
