Corman's efficient madness: six day shoot, actual rain machine drama.

Best for:Solo: Late night B-movie discovery mission with snacks and zero expectations.·Rewatch: Spot which scenes Corman shot in two days flat.
Heads up:Violence: 1956 western shootouts, surprisingly grim body count for the runtime.

Shot in six days on leftover sets from another western. The 'rain' in the climactic scene? A broken hose Corman decided to keep rolling.

One of the earliest westerns with a female marshal as protagonist, beating even TV's Annie Oakley to serious dramatic territory.
