needs to be seen in color, 30 May 2002
7/10
Author: Tom Slaback (tom-374) from Prescott, AZ

As usual, Joel McCrea is excellent in an underplayed role of dignity. The movie was filmed on magnificent locations surrounding Sedona, Arizona. Unfortunately I have only found black and white copies of this movie. To due the film justice it should be seen in color, which would greatly increase my rating for this movie.
