It felt and probably was a template movie and not a good template. It points in all directions and therefore never gets deep enough in any one subject.

Actually it is filmed in Moab, but meant to look like Monument valley.

This was not a well-done Western to me. Very disappointing after seeing its "4 stars" TV Guide rating and expecting something closer in quality to other Wayne movies like "The Searchers", "Stagecoach" and "Red River:"Bobbynoreply@blogger.com
