One of Wayne's most boring films from his later period, with a seriously miscast Rock Hudson, and a tepid approach to the story and action.
One of the film's few merits is the tension between John Wayne and Rock Hudson (their only teaming), due to their differing screen persona and acting styles.
Full of cliches, this tired Western is one of Wayne's weakest films, made in a year in which he made the much better True Grit.
