The picture gets action Western,shoot out,love story,musical numbers(at charge of a explosive Dvrak) and is quite entertained.It's a medium budget film with good actors,technicians, production values and pleasing results. The film is totally set in Abilene(Kansas)which was the first of the major railhead cattle towns .From 1867 to 1872 it was a booming depot ,shipping some one million Texas Longhorns by railroad to Kansas City and Chicago and meat markets in the East.The place was selected as a terminus for Texas cattle drives in 1867.Then the long drives began from Texas over the Chisholm trail .At trail's end in Abilene the rowdy,free-spending cowboys attracted saloon keepers,gamblers,brothels and all types of frontier riff-raff,the town became notorious for its lawlessness and vice.Gunmen were hired for a time to keep the peace in Abilene(in the film Scott and actually Wild Bill Hickok).With the numerous presence of homesteaders the town prospered,stabilized and grew,its lawabiding citizens decided to discourage the troublesome cattle trade with his transient cowboys and early requested the Texas cattlemen to drive their herds elsewhere,which they soon did and Abilene's role as a wild cow town came to an abrupt ending. The motion picture is directed with sure visual eye by Edwin L. Marin.He realized a variety films of all genres,though especially Westerns,the best are starred by Scott,all well screen-written(Abilene,Canadian Pacific,Cariboo trail,Fighting man of the plains).In fact his lasts films were Westerns until his early death at 52 .
