While the individual incidents are familiar, they are played with gusto by Lancaster and Davis.

New York Times
An amiable enough liberal comedy Western, with colour-coded cultural conflict worked through an ironic circular plot.

Rating: 3.5/4 --
Some movies are masterpieces, and most movies are not, and sometimes you get a movie that can best be described as 'interesting.' By that I mean it falls short of excellence but nevertheless has something that makes it worth seeing.

Rating: B- --
Navigating the movie's period attitude is relatively easy, but finding its sense of humor takes some work.

Working on several levels, the film is entertaining as an outdoor adventure, a study in character and a movie with an explicit, but never heavy-handed, message.

A comical western with more than a hint of social satire.

The Indians force Joe to trade his pelts for an educated, runaway slave, played brilliantly by Ossie Davis.
