The gang terrorizes a small town by threatening to use a gold-plated and jewel-encrusted Mexican cannon on the innocent population. Presley sings only one song (the title track) in the last dramatic role of his career. The feature has the look and feel of the popular spaghetti westerns of the time. This routine western would be followed by the truly gaugeable The Trouble With Girls and Change Of Habit. Presley revived his live performing career soon after the forgettable last two films and continued touring until his death on August 16th, 1977. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

    This was the only film Elvis ever starred in without music. As with his first it is a western but hampered by some terrible dialog. Solomon Sturges gives a good performance as the outlaw leaders deranged brother. Elvis is okay in the title role but his portrayal lacks any real da... read morenger or menace.

    Pretty good western, with Elvis. This doesn't have all the singing and dancing that are in most of his movies.

Don't blame the King for this bleak routine western being so stiff, he tries his best, blame writer-director Charles Marquis Warren. Full Review
