| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThis B Western with an A cast never becomes more than a B Western. |
| User ReviewRichard PBogart is the bad guy here. Good stuff. If you like classic westerns you will love this one. |
| User ReviewMarc VIt is the late-1800s and the US government is buying land from Indians in an area known as the Cherokee Strip, in the Oklahoma Territory. Gold intended for the Indians is hijacked by the gang of Whip McCord (played by Humphrey Bogart). The gang is in turn ambushed and robbed by Jim "The Oklahoma Kid" Kincaid (James Cagney). This leads to a deadly feud between McCord and Kincaid. A good old-fashioned good guys vs bad guys western. Plot is fairly basic, but works. Similarly the acting is a bit over-the-top, but works. It is basically the swagger of James Cagney and Humphrey Bogart that propels the movie, and makes it work. Makes it quite amusing at times, too... On a side note, this might actually be the first movie to include both Cagney and Bogart, so the movie is of historical significance too. |
| User ReviewPaul CIt's your typical studio western (the stories of Cagney and Bogart's off-screen friction during this movie are more interesting than the movie itself), but there are a few somewhat unusual aspects to it, such as the death of certain major characters. Bogart was always a good heavy, and he's genuinely menacing in this. |
| User ReviewBojana SI don't like to see Bogart playing a bad gay... |
| User ReviewNick GDon't know how I feel about Bogart in a cowboy hat but Jimmy Cagney was fun to watch. |
| User ReviewVincent HAn all right, over all western from Hollywood's Golden Age. Pretty good drama, surprisingly, and great entertainment from Cagney and Bogart in such rare performances. |
| User ReviewJed Kit was good to watch an old black and white movie and the technology available in those times compared to todays. Great to see a young Humphrey Bogart and James Cagney from where they were then,to where there acting careers took them today,so to speak. |
| User ReviewAllan CDiverting western would be completely unmemorable except for the fact that it stars James Cagney and Humphrey Bogart. Cagney is the hero wanting revenge for the hanging of his father by Bogey. The film features a solid supporting cast that includes Donald Crisp and Ward Bond, which helps as well, but this film really could have been any number of routine Tim Holt westerns, except for maybe one song and dance number performed by Cagney. |
| User ReviewStella Dcagney pulls it off but bogie looks ridiculous. he had a rough time until the maltese falcon |
