Powerful western period film

What did not existed in THE UNTOUCHABLES series, I mean Robert Stack - Elliot Ness - vs Broderick Crawford - cause BC never played in this awesome gangster crime series, NEVER, what a shame - what never existed, Stack vas Crawford, you have here, in this taut, tense, fast speed Ray Enright western, where Enright once more leaves his trade mark, fast, very fast and furious pace, and historical figures of the West story. It is gritty, with an outstanding Crawford, more "machine gun talking" than ever. I always enjoy watching a Ray Enright western, the matter when he was the very best; most of them Warner Bros and also a bit for RKO Pictures.
