I had to resume this film from the beginning at the fifty minute mark because I was getting so confused with the plot strands. There seemed so many! Who were the good guys, who were the bad guys all that kind of thing because it was so confusing. To me anyway! It's a good job the film had only a modest running time to allow this to be practicable.
It's a shame because there was some good work that went into this film from both the cast and the crew. There are elements of humour, action, romantic scenes. Good location photography and sound. Some good performances from the supporting cast as well.
It's definitely a film that has to be watched if you are going to seriously explore the Randolph Scott movies because he had such a filmography.
I suppose the film did remind me of some plot in future Hollywood output from films as varied as A Few Good Men (1992) when a character talks about duty and it's importance in the army and the control of the Californian water supply reminded me of the James Bond film Quantum Of Solace (2008) albeit that was Bolivia.
