★★★ · Harry Carey in Good Western Even With 18 Minutes Missing · Poohbah70 · 2019-12-01

Good western mystery plot, nevertheless the solution should be obvious to most. It is missing 18 minutes - but still okay. Harry Carey is good as the undercover lawman. George "Gabby" Hayes is good as his new found "lieutenant." Elinor Fair is okay as the attractive obligatory woman in the story; so is extra added attraction, exotic Nadja as a saloon dancer and ranch maid. Not bad for a film missing so much footage.

★★★ · Real early talkie · Dr Feel Rotten · 2011-02-12

The acting was actually pretty good, but there seemed to be some big chunks missing, but still not bad 'tall..
