Interesting early Wayne Western
1 January 2008
Warning: Spoilers
This was on a DVD with "West of the Divide", but that flick seems rather primitive, not to mention being taken from a bad print, compared to this interesting and sometimes amusing Wayne Westerner.

Among the tidbits are the opening with the unbelievable scene of John Wayne as a singing, dubbed, cowboy; then there's the number of shots where Wayne has an uncanny resemblance to Stan Laurel of Laurel and Hardy; notice the wanted posters outside the marshal's office at the beginning of the film, one of them is for Gat Ganns, the character Wayne pretends to be in "West of the Divide"; and for some scenes Wayne's costume is almost a dead ringer for that of the Lone Ranger (all he needs is a black mask, and the white horse he rode at the opening of the movie).

If your expectations are low and you're open to something different, this could be an amusing hour of watching.
