Short Review

Vigorous western with touches of humor. Dana Andrews gives the best performance with Ward Bond getting the lion's share of comic relief. Jon Hall is good in the lead, he's a bit too good looking to be completely convincing as the rugged wildcat scout that the real Carson was but still he cuts a fine figure.
