Reception[edit]
"In this clichéd western, plays a drunken ex-lawman who's asked to escort three troubled mail-order brides across harsh terrain. These so-called “prairie fever"-afflicted women (among them a showy Dominique Swain) give an unusual slant to an otherwise archetypal mix of characters and events, but frustratingly the plotline only deals superficially with the roots of their anguish.", according to Radio Times.[5] The Video Source book gave the film two stars out of 5 [6] The film has been called a "period Western with the tradition good guys and varmints."[7]
