A rather curious debut for the screenwriter of Randy Scott - Budd Boetticher's team: COMMANCHE STATION, TALL T, SEVEN MEN FROM NOW.... But it is not bad, just unexpected, I mea on the script, story, characters; however we can feel something clumsy, as if Kennedy did not excatly know how to build something as solid as usual with the means that he disposed of. That's my opinion. Some trademarks here from the KENNEDY screenwriter of Scott & Boetticher crew: he insists from time to time on supporting characters depiction, such as young men talking about themselves. You also have this in his westerns as screenwriter. Bob Ryan doesn't seem to be totally concerned by his character.
