Truth to tell, I had never heard of Director William McGann but I do not feel too ignorant after watching this rather wayward part of the Wyatt Earp saga in the Old West.
Richard Dix plays Wyatt - nowhere near as memorably as Joel McCrea in WICHITA or Burt Lancaster in GUNFIGHT AT THE OK CORRAL, among other worthies - but the real show stealer is Edgar Buchanan as Curly Bill Brocius, a hard-drinking and fast-robbing cattle rustler.
Good B&W cinematography by Russell Harlan, terrific editing by Lewis and Rose, and entertaining script from Le Vino and Paramore make this unusual Western a must-see for any lover of Westerns. 7/10.
