NOTES: B-western from United Artists used by Hoyts to partner Two Texas Knights on that film’s suburban run. The handful of top billings it received were mostly when paired with the British thriller Forbidden, which supported its city fortnight. Little else to note other than its tendency to not travel far out of the inner suburbs.
