    • Trivia

    • Goofs
      The clothing worn by the characters in the film resembles modern Western wear more so than post- Civil War dress. This includes pants with belt loops and shirts with buttons down their entire fronts. Bobby Darin's cowboy hat was the style worn with suits in the 1950s.

    Coming home to Abilene is not easy.

    Typical, predictable...but watchable. An ex-confederate officer(Bobby Darin)upon his homecoming to Abilene takes the job of Sheriff and tries to settle disputes between farmers and cattlemen. Darin is not as convincing as others in the cast:Leslie Nielsen, Emily Banks and Donnelly Rhodes. Also of note are Don Galloway and Barbara Werle. At times the background music is more interesting than the script.
