A former spy (Randolph Scott) for the notorious Quantrill's Raiders heads out West to Arizona where he takes a job driving for a stagecoach company. But the town is in the hands of an outlaw gang headed by a Confederate loyalist (George Macready), who remembers the ex-spy from the old days. Based on the short story YANKEE GOLD by John W. Cunningham and directed by Andre DeToth (HOUSE OF WAX). A pedestrian western that's notable for being one of the earliest 3D movies. I watched it in 2D but there didn't seem to be much attention to the 3D effects outside of the occasional object being tossed toward the audience. As the femme fatale, Claire Trevor is a bit on the mature side for vamping and after this, she segued into character work rather than as a lead actress. Western fans should find it modestly agreeable if unmemorable. With Lee Marvin, Ernest Borgnine, Joan Weldon, Alfonso Bedoya and Clem Bevans.
