Viewing Notes
Not great but plenty of outdoors on-location filming of these stagecoaches racing through the mountains and whatnot. But for me the best thing(s) is seeing babyface Ernest Borgnine and babyface Lee Marvin, who looks so different. Having those two as unlikely allies makes this worth the watch.
