Critics' reviews

"A good, sturdy and occasionally powerful little Western."

Howard Thompson: The New York Times
"An excellent but often overlooked 1968 Western about a kindly sheriff (James Stewart) battling a gang of bad guys, with Henry Fonda playing the chief villain"

Los Angeles Times
"There are only short bursts of action in between nearly endless talk in the Clements script. Despite a huge cast of very competent actors the film misses the mark."

TV Guide
"Late in James Stewart's career he made this sturdy western, the beauty of which lies in its simplicity"
