Clearly once again I watched a different film to the majority of the people who have reviewed it here. Frankly it's BEYOND dire and God alone knows how any of the cast survived to actually have careers in movies. Arguably the most distinguished is Celia Parker, the Canadian actress playing the daughter of George (the 'Gabby' came later) Hayes and who, some four years later, played for the first time the elder sister of Andy Hardy, a role she reprised throughout the series. John Wayne is risible in the opening sequence which sees him riding a horse with no hands, the hands being engaged in holding and strumming a guitar as he warbles a song that is even worse than Elton John could aspire to. The plot - and it had to be ancient even in 1933 - is the old chestnut about the local 'businessman' holding the settlers to ransom because he owns all the water for miles around. If you're wondering how come I watched this piece of cheese at all it's because I bought a DVD containing Three movies, two half decent titles starring respectively Jimmy Stewart and Jimmy Cagney and then this turkey to make up the numbers. For masochists only.
