At a time when there were NO westerns on TV, this one had the cajones to use the title from one of the best and most well known westerns ever. It is not as good as that film. Neither is it epic. But it has characters that remind one of the classic TV westerns (I am a freak about Warner Brothers TV westerns from when I was a kid, "Maverick," "Lawman," "Cheyenne," "Sugarfoot" and the like) and therefore deserves at least a look.
