This was not one of Jeanette MacDonald's and Nelson Eddy's best films.
It's just a matter of time before the young boy Gringo finds out who sang so lovely at the camp sight. It will take years later when the two are grown up and by that time, Gringo takes the name of Ramirez and is embittered because the man who took him in is slain by settlers who thought he was out to get them. Just like the man, Gringo becomes an outlaw and steals.
When Eddy is shot in the shoulder by Sheriff Walter Pidgeon, MacDonald acts like a silent screen damsel in distress. MacDonald is totally unfit for the role and Eddy again proves what a bad actor he was.
While it's true that the singing is beautiful, the plot line is thin. The ending is pure Hollywood and at least Eddy survives in this picture.
