I just happened upon this film on TV accidentally, and unlike other critics I have to admit that I enjoyed it. Sure it was way over the top with the action and bloodshed which was constant with very few breaks.
The stars were fairly unknown (other than on TV), but they did a good job. As far as history is concerned, I have no idea as to the accuracy or otherwise of the story of the exploits of the rag-tag Texas Rangers so soon after the War, but I was enthralled by the great musical score as well as the beautiful scenery. Lack of name stars probably caused this film not to reach any major Cinemas and therefore became a virtual "sleeper". In todays film making of course, there is always a psychological theme, and it certainly was not forgotten here.
