Pretty Good

Stagecoach driver William Bishop comes to town, has to remain with his team of horses. He gets on poorly with Gloria Henry, who runs the established line, but eventually he goes to work for her, and finds out who the hooded figure who has been robbing mine shipments is.

It's a pretty good little western, mostly standard but a notch above average because of a cast that includes Edgar Buchanan and Forrest Tucker -- and Irving Bacon, naturally; you can't make a movie without Irving Bacon -- but boasts a nice gimmick: it's based on a story by Robert Louis Stevenson, and it has Stevenson onsite, scribbling, scribbling, scribbling. Plus some nice camerawork by Henry Freulich.

An Ink-Slinger Out West

Four things make this amiable Columbia oater an agreeable experience: the sinister hooded villain The Monk, the benign presence of Edgar Barrier as Robert Louis Stevenson, the anachronistically tight britches worn by the heroine and the delightful presence of Patti Brady, a child actress you for once don't want to strangle.

A Surprisingly Good Little Western

A surprisingly good little Western under Phil Karlson's capable direction. The Robert Louis Stevenson twist is original and works nicely. Gloria Henry never looked as pretty although Forrest Tucker is so over-the-top that he makes Irving Bacon come across as subtle. I speculate that one reason this Western may not have been readily packaged for TV distribution is its lead, William Bishop. Although a capable actor, he doesn't have it in him to be personally engaging. His smirk signals the untrustworthiness of a used car dealer and, for that reason, in this lead role he's miscast. Had the movie been made a few years later with Audie Murphy in the lead, it would have achieved more longevity.
