Goofy oater not without charm
10 May 2022
An American Western; A story about a circus owner whose business is being secretly sabotaged by her partners because she refused to sell her inherited land. A trio of cowboys come to her aid to save the show from going under. This contemporary Western is modestly produced. The circus fire scenes were edited into the film from Circus Girl (1937). Mildly amusing moments emanate from broad-humoured oddities. The Three Mesquiteers have genial appeal with their 'do-good' mentality. There is good chemistry on screen between John Wayne and Carol Landis. All in all, good escapism, enjoyably silly slapstick.
