Not bad. Nice colour and locations. Good cast. I wasn't wild about Alex Cord as the Ringo Kidd. Ann Margaret is ideal as a hooker. Mike Connors is fine as John Carradine. Stefanie Powers is the pregnant lady Louise Platt. Robert Cummings is better than Barton Churchill. Van Heflin is ideal as George Bancroft. Bing Crosby is very good as Thomas Mitchell. I liked Keenan Wynn as the baddy. I could've taken or left Red Buttons.
The direction, by Gordon Douglas, lacks the poetry of John Ford but is competent. It doesn't have the emotional connection and warmth of the first. But it isn't bad and it is in colour.
