Virginia Mayo repeats her film performance but unfortunately John Lund steps in for Alan Ladd; Lund tries but he’s just not in Ladd’s league as a star or radio actor. The ficitionalisation of Jim Bowie’s lie is more annoying here because there’s no compensatory star, period detail or action we can see (the terrific knife fight isn’t that well done). So you just get irritated they changed his life – when a narrator could have fleshed out so much.
