"Let's see. How do we get the kiddies into the theater on a Saturday morning?" I can just see someone at Warner Brother's B unit deciding to get all of the great outlaws and lawmakers from the old west together, just like Universal had done with Frankenstein, Dracula and the Wolfman. A cast led by George Montgomery, Neville Brand, Buster Crabbe and Karin Booth get together in a story surrounding money being shipped by train and a bunch of lawbreakers (some of whom never met) attempting to rob it while the lawmakers (ditto) find out about it and try to stop it.
So we've got Butch and Sundance (Brand and Russell "Professor" Johnson) along with Blackjack Ketchum (Fred Graham) on the side of the criminals with George Montgomery as Pat Garrett, Buster Crabbe as Wyatt Earp and Malcolm Atterbury as Buffalo Bill on the side of the law.
Cheaply made, this easily could have been part of a TV anthology episode, as with big color westerns popular in the theaters, this looks like something that would have been part of a double bill a decade before. Western fans will find things to enjoy about this fable, but authenticates will find it trite and predictable.
