I first thought it was a sort of oater, family western, shot in a superb setting, the Rocky Mountains. A little boy lives here with his father. A little boy who is witness of a murder committed by a man – Chaplin Jr. It takes place in modern times, the 50’s, with cars and accuracy rifles…Not a western. And the topic has nothing to do with beasts. No bears, pumas or cougars in this feature.

Just a little movie very pleasant to watch. Very linear. The story is a sort of Carbon copy of Ted Tetzlaff’s THE WINDOW where, here again, a little boy is witness of a murder. And where no one believes him. Of course.

Just try it on the new disc set available since a short while: DARN GOOD WESTERNS.

It could have been a Edward L Cahn movie. It’s just his style. And the screen writer, Orville Hampton, is the usual Eddie Chan’s one. But the director is William Claxton. Not a bad one. A pretty good worker, with no soul, who worked for TV in his late years, after many westerns. B westerns.
