Laura La Plante is perfectly cast in this pre-code drama that sounds from the title as if it ought to be a Western (perhaps deliberately?) but is in fact an adult romantic story that could as easily take place in 2023 as in 1931. Beyond the fine performances from the leads, some excellent cinematography and set decoration lift this above what one might expect from a so-called Poverty Row studio in the depths of the Depression. Highly recommended also for fans of the Duke, who towers over the other players with his bashful physicality. Mr. Cohn is credited producer on this one. Once again, well recommended.
