Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen the godfathers are dying of thirst, Walter Brennan asks Doc about a person in the bible who brought water out of a rock. Doc replies that that was Moses. The same exchange is made in another Walter Brennan classic, Northwest Passage. Only there the men are dying of hunger and the actor asking the question is Spencer Tracey. Answering is Robert Young. Brennan only looks on.
- Goofs(at about 45 mins) When Doc arrives to the place where the baby's mother is buried, there is a shadow covering only a small area where the rock pile and cross are. In the very next edit, the site is in total sunlight, with nothing nearby that could have cast such a shadow, too small and well-defined to have been cast by a cloud.

Well done western that doesn't show its age
I stumbled across this movie in the wee hours of the morning and was riveted by the story and acting. Chester Morris whom I had never heard of was excellent as the cold blooded gunman and of course Walter Brennan put in his usual excellent work. I had a hard time believing it was made in 1936 it has aged well in comparison to most westerns made before the fifties. All three main characters were excellent and the story moved at a good pace with a good twist at the end. I would recommend this movie to any fan of westerns and hope to catch it again so I can tape it................9 out of 10. I hope I can find this on a decent DVD print as it would be a most welcome addition to any western fans collection.
