Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Don 'Red' Barry was so typecast as western leads that this rare crime drama barely got distribution; most prints were destroyed in a 1965 studio fire.
The 'criminal reforms through injury and good woman' plot was a post-war Hollywood obsession—see also *The Bishop's Wife* and countless noir knockoffs.
