| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzRoutine, unrealistic and uninteresting oater that's ably directed by Ray Enright. |
| User ReviewBrett WI had a blast watching this film in 2013 - it's one of those classic Saturday morning westerns that I had somehow missed as a kid in the 1950's. The good vs. evil character actors come through in the grand tradition of Roy Rodgers, the Lone Ranger, and Rin Tin Tin. It was a jolt to see a bearded Carl Denham (King Kong's Robert Armstrong) as one of the baddest of the Bad men! It's comforting and nostalgic to recognize lots of the actors in this old western! The romantic triangle sub-plot kept me guessing as good girl Madge (Jacqueline White) and bad girl Cheyenne (Ann Jeffreys) vie for Randolph Scott's attentions - I was pulling for both of them and had no idea how the writers would resolve it. Could one of them get shot like Rhonda Castle (Ruth Roman) when she saved Jeff Webster (Jimmy Stewart) in the Far Country? |
