SLICK BUT STIFF...WIDE-SCREEN COLOR WESTERN...RATHER DULL & SHALLOW
4 August 2021
Jock Mahoney and some Familiar Faces in Front of a Cinemascope, Color, Detective Western.

Mahoney's Fictional and "Famous" Wild-West Sleuth Plods Through a Literal Checklist of Suspects,

In a Convoluted, Confusing, and Dull Mystery Story.

The Movie Looks Good and is Competently Acted, but that's About It.

The Story Never Comes to Life and Contains Almost No Violence, Suspense, or Activity that Amounts to Much.

Disappointing Universal Studio Major Western that Lands with a Plop.

The Native-Americans are Generic.

Most Characters are Cardboard and the Whole Production Lacks Life in the Old West Attractions.

Typical Main-Stream Product from Hollywood.

Clueless to the Vibrations Permeating Pictures of the "New" Western Format that Sprinkled the Decade with Off-Beat, Engaging, Edgy Westerns.

This One is as Generic and Shallow as it Gets.

Note...Coming up with a title this misleading and cute was a sign that there was little confidence in the Movie on its own.
