Points of Interest to Film Studies Students: The wild west was still in the hearts of the American public, and so there was still a need to fill. This was aimed at children, though I would imagine adults of the 50's watched it also, for the formula for good tv then was good, clean family entertainment. |

Personal View: It was full of cliches but I liked it. It was shown on the BBC during childrens programming at a similar time to their showing Whirlybirds. |
