How many different ways can you do a western? Well giving the cowboys redjackets and pretending they are Canadians is one. Giving them a ginger beard and highland cap is another. Cinematogrphy is lush, but plot and acting are dated.

Beautiful colors! However this is one of super director Cecil B. DeMille's lesser known epics, for the simple reason that the story isn't as well composed as the production aspect. Gary Cooper does one of his worst roles since becoming a big star. Comes across way too much like a goof and Preston Foster, the second-fiddle male role, easily outshines him and saves the hero side for the film. Had a good light vibe, but the script didn't get enough attention and the film suffers for it.
