"B" movie programmer that begins by proclaiming its authenticity regarding the legend of Billy The Kid (Donald Barry) and his downfall at the hands of Pat Garrett (Robert Lowery). Despite that, nothing rings true and it's just another low budget routine western and although its running time is just around an hour, it's slow moving with lots of continuous and tedious shots of Barry or Lowery riding to their destination as if the film makers doubted our ability to decipher how they got there. It's the kind of movie where comical Mexicans say things like, "Ay, chihuahua!". Barry is no "kid" either. He was pushing 40 here when playing the 21 year old Billy and, strangely, plays him with a constant grin on his face. With Tom Neal, Wally Vernon, Wendy Lee and a score by Albert Glasser.
