Great RR western of the Forties. The fight between Roy and Barcroft in the meat storage with meat hooks showed Bill Witney's touch in directing action. You wouldn't see that kind of action on Roy's TV show.
May Roy and Dale R.I.P. great movies and a Godly life… Miss your movies..thanks for postings Roy
