“Aaron Spelling lends his gravitas to the ongoing love affair that the American TV audience has with their ridiculous motion of the historical wild west.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis rose-tinted fairytale is no different, except thereu0026#39;s some fine talent in front of the camera.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAlso, despite being half a century old, this movie has a level headed and mature approach to the issues of bigotry and racism.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBut the story is really an excuse to explore the development of trust and friendship between two cowboys on the trail of some Indians heading to Mexico. Both Earnest Borgnine and Sammy Davis Jr. Both rise above the silly story to make this worth watching.”
