'Mike Costigan and 'Spade' Allen weren't exactly thieves - but they had a habit of finding horses that nobody had lost.'

The (sometimes slightly comical) first hour is a lot of fun. George O'Brien is listed as the lead role, but the three bandits Tom Santschi, J. Farrell MacDonald and Frank Campeau steal the show. Not for nothing is the title of the film.

I especially thought Santschi played very well. In the last half hour the atmosphere becomes grimmer.

An unforgettable and large-scale 'land rush' provides beautiful images.

The modern music of piano, guitar and violin fits well. The guitar pieces in particular give a melodramatic, nostalgic touch. It made me think of the music from another film, but I can't remember which one.

Classic Ford western, with villains who, in addition to enormous thirst, also appear to have a heart of gold as a comic element, the real villain who is ruthless, beautiful panoramic shots as a backdrop for the historical dimension of the land rush , and as a tragic element the outlaws who sacrifice themselves for a better future that they themselves will no longer experience. Despite the predictability and farcicality, I was still moved by the title characters at the end, which indicates that I may be just as sentimental as the director, but it also indicates that Ford knows exactly what he is doing, because it works. Too bad Ford's original edit is no longer available.
