Reception

FilmInk called it John Derek's "best Western... one of the rare movies where Derek plays someone with balls, a tough, ruthless womanising killer. It’s pretty good work. The film was directed by Quentin Tarantino fave William Witney and is full of action – people are always climbing through windows and pulling guns and double crossing each other." [2]
