An agreeable , melodramatic Western movie with trappers , mountain men , Indians and extremely nasty baddies . It packs thrills , noisy action , pursuits and gorgeous landscapes. Exceptional and colorful photography of the gorgeous scenary can't hide the cliched story , in spite of it , resulting to be enjoyable enough . Very marvellous scenary shots of the Rocky Mountains and some pretty soundtrack make up for some of the known , predictable plot . The picture contains a good cast , giving dencent interpretation , with plenty of Western notorious secondaries as Leif Erickson , Denver Pyle , Elisha Cook Jr , Woody Strode , Michael Dante , L. Q. Jones in a really villain role and Arthur Hunnicut's last screen appearance
It packs a sensitive and rousing musical score by Lee Oldridge . Luminous and briiliant cinematography from Jim Roberson and Charles B Pierce himself . This acceptable and in medium budget motion picture was well directed by Charles B Pierce . This craftsman also made similar style westerns such as : Hawken's Breed , Sacred Ground and Grayeagle . Although he also made terror genre as Town that dreaded Sundown, The Evictors , Legend of Bobby Creek , Bobby Creek II and Adventures as Norseman . Rating : 6.5/10 . Worthwhile watching.
