Brand New HD Master from a 4K Scan of the Original 35mm Trucolor Nitrate Negatives by Paramount Pictures Archives! Singing legend Vaughn Monroe (Toughest Man in Arizona) in his acting debut portrays Rhiannon, a notorious stagecoach robber who shoots the new sheriff (Ward Bond, Hondo), but decides to take him to the doctor (Walter Brennan, Rio Bravo). With the help of the kind doctor, Rhiannon cleans himself up and is presented to the sheriff as the man who saved his life. Rhiannon, who’s fond of singing a tune now and then, is deputized by the sheriff and falls in love with a lovely saloon gal (Ella Raines, Hail the Conquering Hero). Rhiannon is now torn between his new life and his old one… can he turn over a new leaf and give up his illegal ways or are the prospects of robbing the next gold shipment too much for the ex-outlaw? R.G. Springsteen (Tiger by the Tail) directed this “singing-cowboy” classic featuring Jeff Corey (Little Big Man) and Barry Kelley (Too Late for Tears).
