Standout Aspects

Acting

John Carradine's mustache-twirling marshal outclasses everything around him.

Production

Republic Pictures fake snow and cardboard mountains — charmingly cheap.

Best for:Solo: Rainy afternoon when you need 76 minutes of straight-shooting nonsense.·Background: Ironing clothes? This demands zero brainpower and delivers exactly that.
Heads up:Violence: Standard 1940s Western shootouts, nothing graphic.

Trivia

Republic Pictures shot this in 12 days on recycled sets from their 1943 film 'Idaho'. The 'Alaska' mountains are the same hills.

Insight

This was Dean Jagger's last B-Western before winning an Oscar for 'Twelve O'Clock High' — he clearly knew bigger things waited.
