The Desperate Mission Movie Review 1960

Joaquin Murietta (Montelban) is a Mexican nobleman acting as a Robin Hood for those oppressed by corrupt authorities in gold-rushed 1840s California, along with his outlaw sidekick Three-Fingered Jack. Action scenes are well staged and direction is tight making for a greatly satisfying western.
