Decent central situation - two brothers who were outlaws, George Montgomery and John Dehner, squabble over Dehner's son Tab Hunter - Dehner is still bad but Montgomery has gone straight.
The film makes a mistake killing Dehner 20 minutes in. William Bishop comes in as the new villain but it would've been stronger with Dehner who was Hunter's dad.
This is a pretty good little Western. Solid story, in colour, decent action, a support role from Wyaatt Earp, good actors. Helen Westacott doesn't have much to do as the girl (why no love triangle). Montgomery has that great voice - he should wear a moustache though. The cast is good. Hunter gets decent chances in this, whining about Dehner being killed and yelling at Montgomery but being a callow kid too. He's not bad.
