....including:
a) Technicolor photography so bright and fresh it looks as if the film was made yesterday!
b) Yvonne De Carlo at her most gorgeous, in a role that allows her to dance and doesn't require her, most of the time, to take matters too seriously.
c) The often smart, snappy dialogue. In many Westerns the dialogue is simply functional; in this one, much of the dialogue seems to have been written for the sheer joy of its own writing.
d) Well-done action and stunts
e) An unexpected finale, followed by a funny gag that's diametrically opposite to the tone of what has just happened!
The film IS a little slow to start, but stick with it. *** out of 4.
