★★★★ · Another Early Johnny Mack Brown Western · bobsluckycat · 2011-06-30
This is a sturdy little early entry from Spreme Pictures. S. Roy Luby, a busy film editor on Poverty Row directed this and also edited it as "Roy Claire". It's a rather involved story for a Matinee western, but fairly easy to follow and understand. Luby gets all the credit for this. Not exactly for your ten-year-olds in the audience. Johnny Mack, the good guy, saves John Merton, the bad guy and they become partners looking for gold and they find it. Lucille Brown is the love interest who marries Brown, runs off with Merton and... You're racing ahead here. The film was made in 1936 not 2011.…
