Director: PHILIP H. WHITMAN. Screenplay: John Francis Natteford. Screen story: Lew Collins. Photography: Abe Shultz. Film editor and assistant director: Bobby Ray. Art director: Fred Preble. Music director: Abe Meyer. Camera operator: J. Henry Kruse. Assistant cameraman: John Jenkins. Production manager: Sam Katzman. Sound recording: Oscar Lagerstrom. Supervising producer: Al Alt.
Copyright 8 June 1933 by Screencraft Productions. U.S. release through Showmen's Pictures, Inc. U.S. release: 10 June 1933. U.K. release though Gaumont Ideal: 12 February 1934. 60 minutes.
COMMENT: A very modestly entertaining Poverty Row offering that would have never seen the light of day in today's world were it not for the presence of John Wayne. True, he gives a skilful and likable performance, but, like the film itself, it's nothing special. Miss Knapp likewise delivers competently enough, though shaded in the beauty stakes by seductress Natalie Kingston.
Direction and other credits are capable, though the routine but seemingly endless plot machinations seem to take much longer than 60 minutes to unravel.
