Casting
Gibson was cast in the leading role of Reasonin' Bates in what was his first western film in two years and the first since he had signed for First Division Pictures. The role was a departure from his usual western films, instead acting in a story with comedy and drama which was described as being one of his best performances.[1]
Reception
The Sydney Morning Herald noted that despite the film's "exciting opening", the film became "leisurely" and described the acting, dialogue and humor as "feeble".[2] The Intelligencer Journal offered a more positive review of the film, suggesting that it "will satisfy every theatregoer with entertainment and thrills", noting that the film had much comedy and dramatic situations which made for excitement.[3] A positive assessment was also given by The News and Observer, suggesting that the film was "one of the finest westerns ever made" which was packed with "fast action, fast shooting and hard riding from beginning to end".[4] The Reading Times had considerably praise for Gibson's performance, noting it was one of his best and that he proves himself as being an excellent rider with his handling of comedy and drama.[1]
