I discovered this movie a couple of years ago. This movie has some intense drama,is well acted and I highly recommend it, if you like a good story in a "classic" Western framework. Candice's character is the victim in this semi-thriller and she looks ravishingly beautiful in this film. I can see why the "bad guy" kidnaps her.
