“As Jim Nabors would put it — surprise, surprise. This is part of one of those packages with umpteen westerns, most, but not all, which can be labeled as crap.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;Buckskin Ladyu0026quot; is a rare exception – a low budget movie with high class credits. The twist-turn plot is excellent, as are the settings, although the little town is sparse even for its day. That is a very minor gripe.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe acting is several notches above satisfactory. Overly handsome Richard Denning, in an unfamiliar part, hits the spot. Gerald Mohr, always a top villain is very good, although his expressions and voice are the poor manu0026#39;s Bogie. Henry Hull as a d.d. – not a dentist, but a drunk doc – and Hank Worden as a not too bright character are right on.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ePatricia Medina always kept busy. She is one of those black-haired beauties that graced many a pic. Think Faith Domergue, etc. (In one scene Medina sported a shiny chin). She dominates every scene.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe almost hot love scenes are unusual for a western in those days. They are well done as are the fight scenes and the stand-offs between Denning and Mohr.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you can get your paws on this, do so. You wonu0026#39;t be sorry. Have I ever lied to you?”
