Gold rush among the stars. A teenage girl and her father prospect for rare minerals in the far reaches of the galaxy on a rainforest planet and encounter some unpleasant types wearing masks. Shoot-outs follow, and Randolph Scott does not ride to the rescue. More’s the pity. Also absent is a leathery old timer chewing tobacco in this space oater.
The twist is that, oops spoiler, the girl grows up quickly in this environment. Remember Kim Darby? I do.
The girl or her nemesis are in nearly every scene and carrying the film as far as it is carried. The second half becomes clichéd, some might say. Well, I did.
The setting is effective and the two principals are committed to their parts, unlike some of others who seem to find the whole thing boring. Oh, maybe that was me.
A few years earlier, It was preceded by a very short short of the same name on DUST as proof of concept to raise the money for this effort. Full marks for wit, energy, and initiative.
