Title: Good adventure film with a great villan, and a bit of humor
Product review: Rod Taylor and Dennis Cole are troubleshooters for hire brought in by a railroad to rescue a hijcaked train in the southwest of 1914. Fernando Lamas has a great time playing a bandit (with all the stereotypes you don't expect to find in a 1970 film...though you can see elements of political awareness when our hereos buy a hotel that refused to rent rooms to the Hispanic family of the bad guy). Rod Taylor brings his typical light touch and charm to his role as the hero, leaving young Dennis Cole to do a lot of the action, that is climbing onto the moving train. Great cast with John McIntyre as the railroad owner and Micheal Ansara as the jailed brother of Lamas. The other hero of the show is the car...a 1914 Stutz Bearcat. If you like old cars, there are great shots of it roaring through the desert. The film served as the pilot film for a 1971 CBS-TV series starring Taylor and Cole, "Bearcats!"
