Trigger steals the show
Quentin Tarantino lauded William Witney's directing of this movie and Roy's performance in a New York Times interview this year (2000). Trigger is blamed for a killing done by a wild horse, and Roy confesses to the crime to save him and serves three years for manslaughter. Witney once again handles animal scenes with finesse as the wild mare dies after giving birth to Trigger Jr. A beautiful story, in color showing off both golden palominos, in which Roy temporarily loses Trigger to a band of diamond smugglers and recovers him in a typical Witney action climax.
