Who'll love it
Tailor-made for people who root for the clever crook and western fans. Half the pleasure is trying to spot the trick before the reveal.

Easygoing.

Well paced, at 1 hr 25 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
Made in 1956: an older pace and style.

Ben Matthews gives up the flashy life of a riverboat gambler, hoping to settle down in Galena with his girlfriend, luscious entertainer Zoe. But Galena's leading citizen is murdered on the boat; Ben, on arrival, finds a lynch mob after his neck, and flees. Three years of wandering later, Zoe's letters stop coming and Ben returns to find her and attempt the hopeless task of clearing himself.
