Review of Winds of the Wasteland

WINDS OF THE WASTELAND is a B-movie western feature for the stalwart star of that genre, the one and only John Wayne. He was already a veteran of the genre even at this stage of his career and WINDS OF THE WASTELAND is another perfectly acceptable slice of action and courage. This film's story is set in the dying days of the Pony Express and features Wayne and his buddy going into the stagecoach business, only to find their plans thwarted by a ruthless rival. There's a little action, a little romance, plenty of sunshine, and a decent climactic stagecoach chase which isn't quite up there with the ending of BEN HUR but which still does the job well.
