Standout Aspects

Production

Shot in 8 days on recycled sets from better westerns.

Costume

Vera Ralston's frontier couture defies all historical logic.

Best for:Background: Fold laundry while vaguely following who betrayed whom.·Friends: Drinking game: every time someone says 'Juan' dramatically.·Rewatch: Only if you're writing a thesis on Republic's decline.
Heads up:Triggers: Casual 1950s racism toward Mexican characters played straight.
