Featured review
Quite an atmospheric Stagecoach-ghost town western
A stage headed West with a group of passengers (Barbara, a young woman going to meet her fiancée; Rev. Wheedle, a minister who believes the settlers should make friends with the Indians; Doc, a drunken doctor; and Conroy, a well-dressed "gentleman" with a sly and cynical tone) is attacked by Cheyenne Indians, and takes refuge in a nearby ghost town.
Disparate Stagecoach passengers hole up in a ghost town. Very much a familiar tread, however this low budget western is above average with some interesting and flawed characters, great cinematography, and some nifty action. Shadows slanting across faces and lingering shots of the abandoned town create a mood- the ghost town is quite eerie. It can be a bit talky, however the dialogue is quite intelligent, and a sympathetic view of the Natives are shown. Marian Carr's character- a prim and proper woman who is Smith's girl - is quite a surprise. Her change of character added a neat twist.
