Kate Middleton's Infamous Honey Trap Fashion Show Moment Takes Center Stage In 'The Crown' Season 6 Part 2 First Look Photos Cast wise Fuller turns in a lead performance of some macho substance, further begging the question on why he didn't have a more rewarding career? Duryea (was he ever bad in a film?) is restrained yet very effective as a grinning viper in the nest, while Akins, Beery and Pyle leave favourable impressions. Simcox, however, is underwritten and Chiles is just poor and suffers in comparison to those around him. Lane was always going to be up against it as the sole female character, it is a token lady role and she isn't much of an actress. But she positively sizzles with sexuality and delivers what the makers were calling for in the story. A sight for sore eyes to be sure, particularly when wearing an hour glass green dress.

Over at Paramount they were producing geezer westerns, with stars who had been popular when sound came in and were now cheap. Universal was trying to promote its TV western leads onto the big screen, and Fuller had been doing a good job for the company on Wagon Train and Laramie. He's young, he's attractive, his character is clever, but Duryea steals everything in sight, including, it looks like, gorgeous Jocelyn Lane. What is she doing on an army expedition into Indian territory? Shut up, he explained. Robert Fuller is Matt Martin, a Union officer offered a post-Civil War assignment he can’t turn down.

It's the closing days of the Civil War, and the army is mopping up the situation out west.. Among the matters to be cleared up is a million dollars in missing gold. They have cut a deal with one of the robbers: freedom in return for helping to return it. Robert Fuller gets the assignment of leading the troops out to dig it up. There are just two problems: the first is that it's buried on Indian territory, from which the army is barred. The other is the guy leading them there is Dan Duryea at his smarmiest. Technially it's also well worth the time spent with it. It's nice to see a Techniscope production at the best of times, but bonus here is that it's filmed at Universal City and features the rarely used in Westerns locations of Joshua Tree and Lake Piru in California. Margulies doesn't quite get his colour lensing right to truly make the scenery leap out of the screen, but his "scope" photography is very pleasing. Salter's score is suitably in keeping with the tonal shifts of the narrative; in fact making the film feel more like a 50s production than a 60s one.

At the end of the Civil War a group of rogue Confederate soldiers stole a shipment of Union gold they then buried in a cave near Phantom Hill, Texas. Tasked with finding the gold by the U.S. government, veteran Matt Martin ( Robert Fuller) escorts the one man that knows the location: confederate renegade-turned-convicted-thief Joe Barlow ( Dan Duryea). Having assembled a semi-reliable team, including one or two unwanted guests, Martin tangles with deadly Indians, violent outlaws and the unforgiving desert terrain, trying desperately to stay alive long enough to return the gold. Meanwhile Barlow tries his utmost to tempt the rest of the party into making off with the treasure.

Of course, any oater would benefit from the presence of Dan Duryea. And Robert Fuller, who appeared in many Western TV series, turns in a solid effort in a rare leading role in a Western. Fuller mistrusts Barlow from the start. He has another reason for that mistrust once the small group is saddled with a pretty saloon girl named Memphis (Jocelyn Lane).
