The cast is excellent, and the plot is very well done, as were several of the westerns made during that general time. There are sub-plots which lend the central character depth and personality that some of the older westerns did not always achieve. And there's enough shoot-em-up to keep it exciting, although Harmon displays a calm control of each situation that many of us would envy today. Very good all-around entertainment, nothing in there the kids couldn't watch, but adults will like it, too...if they like westerns. I've watched this one several times--and will again.
