Having enjoyed watching a few of John Waynes previous Lone Star production's,I was very much looking forward to viewing the movie.After having seen the film,I feel that it has a very good plot and some unexpectedly impressive stunts.
The plot: Secret Agent Slingin Sandy Saunders is sent from Washington to go undercover in a small town.When Sandy arrives to the town,he discoverers that the town is in big trouble due to a major businessman,declaring that he is to own all of the towns water supply by buying out all of the contracts. View on the film:
Though screenwriter/director Robert N. Bradbury sadly does not film most of the excellent stunts (including a stunt that John Ford would use later on for the classic film Stagecoach) in close up.His screenplay makes up for it,by being surprisingly very ahead of its times with looking at the subject of small landowners getting crushed by huge corporations.With the performances,John Wayne gives a very good cunning performance as Sandy,especially in the scenes that he shares with the beautiful Cecilia Earler. Final view on the film: A well-written, surprisingly modern story with great stunts and fun performances from Wayne and Earler.
