★★★ · Crabbe & St. John in a Real Western · Poohbah70 · 2019-12-10

Neufeld (Producer) and Newfield (Director) actually got a western movie script from Joe O'Donnell - hooray! Yes, there's a little space for St. John to be silly, but that takes place during a dance sequence, where he cuts some humorous and acrobatic dance steps. Otherwise, they've got him down to an acceptable grimace or two and a bit on wobbly legs. Crabbe (Billy Carson) is good as usual - although they do give him a LOT of riding to do, as well as some fighting and shooting. The plot has the bad guys, John Merton and Charles King, who want control of the fertile and profitable "badlands"…
