Wrote Variety: "Miss Pleshette, more often than not cast in kooky or bad-girl parts, proves (gratifyingly) that she need not be pigeonholed. Her saloon singing-dancing is a neat blend of ribaldry and dignity, which is what the part demands."|The movie is based on the 1963 book "By The Great Horn Spoon," by Albert Sidney Fleischman, which chronicled the California Gold Rush of 1849.
